> Shouldn't browsers update themselves these days?

They should. But in the same way, admins and guidelines in authorities and large corporations should now follow a more modern update strategy. "Never change a Running System" is unfortunately still a popular, lazy excuse.

In a way I can understand them - there are often things people are used to breaking or changes in the UI with software updates (not so much with browsers usually I guess). I can sympathise with older or less technical people who are afraid of an update forcing them to “relearn” how to do something they are used to.

Edit: not so much large corporations tbh.
