We're talking about major version updates, ie: going from Ventura (13.x) to Sonoma (14.x). Those are the ones that have signficant changes and tend to break things.

Apple does release maintenance and security updates for older macOS releases for several years (for example, Monterey 12.7.1 and Ventura 13.6.1 were both released in the past week or so). I always install those right away, as I assume most people do.

I apologize; I assumed the over-the-top tone and absurd sentence at the end would be taken as indications of obvious sarcasm.

If your own security (or anything else for that matter) prevents you from working it's clearly not to your benefit.
