I want a working-for-me system. Breaking it to make it "up to date" is a bug.

You're assuming that an application or version that has been replaced by something newer is necessarily broken/inferior/etc. You're wrong.

Yes, some updates do address security, but many/most don't and even the ones that do don't necessarily apply in all situations. Not to mention that security isn't the only priority.

Security isn't the only priority offline, so why would anyone think that it would be online? Disagree as to online? Show me your car, residence, or person and I'll be happy to demonstrate.
