There's no reason to wait that long to install updates.
But a lot of people do wait, for a variety of reasons, not the least of

Which is why all updates should be installed. Doesn't matter which OS.
One smartphone OS does "seamless updates" where the user isn't even aware
that updates are happening due to A/B partitions. Sadly iOS isn't that OS.

But iOS is getting better with the advent of real patches in iOS 16 so
maybe Apple will add the seamless updates that the other has enjoyed for
years (where the OS updates monthly without the user even knowing it).
These "features" are actually not missed on iOS by the vast majority of users.
Exactly. Many of us just use apple stuff as an appliance. We are not Super
USERS. We are not Apple cult fans.
intended as a power-user device. Phones and tablets fall very much in
the "appliance" category for me (AppleIance?). I did try to do photo
editing and organization and use the iPad as primary computing device
for a while. It was not very successful, mostly because the organization
aspect was very lacking.
I ended up with Apple devices because I got tired of the various
annoyances with Android, because I at best tolerate Windows, and Linux
doesn't really cut it for the photo editing side of things.
iOS/iPadOS/MacOS solved some of those annoyances, but
the trade off is different annoyances. I can live with them.
The apple walled garden works fairly well for us. We are not trying toExactly. Nothing I choose to do with a tablet or phone is limited by

being within a walled garden. For those, I just want them to work
reasonably well when they need to.
The real work gets done on the Mac, or my work Windows laptop, or a
small BSD virtual machine which runs the "old school" stuff like 'tin'
newsreader in a terminal (and I can login to that from the iPad or
iPhone if I want to, even remotely over a VPN).
If I want to tinker around with a system, I've got plenty of them to
choose from that are capable of such, and can emulate just about
anything I feel like on the Mac.
This group seems dedicated to quarreling over apple's statistical minutia,I just came back to Usenet after probably 25 years away. Such it was
and trading sophomoric insults.
then, such it remains (just with fewer people left to flame each other).
Oh well. :)
