The problem with these updates is that it's only for devices that can only support up to iOS 12 (in this case) - if you have another device that supports anything higher but don't want upgrade to the latest iOS, you still won't get these iOS 12 security updates - they force you to upgrade the entire OS to get them.

You're literally saying you have the ability to update, but don't want to, and so it's unfair you can't update.

Not exactly - more like being denied the ability to not have a specific OS version forced on someone if they want their device to stay secured.

Being able to stay secured with the latest patches shouldn’t require one to be forced to get the unwanted memory/resource hogging “features” of newer OS releases.
