If you update the OS version, at some point, one by one, the apps will

Based on family experience an app on a 2011 Gen 2 iPad quite working when about 2022 when he latest app version was not compatible.
Apps do not and cannot suddenly stop working, except in two situations.
An app is used for internet-based services (e.g. DropBox, Twitter, Adobe's Photoshop with Neural Filters) where changes *at the server end* mean the old app can no longer connect to the new server software.
Old apps can sometimes no longer work on a newer version of the operating system due to changes in the OS itself. If the app developer has not made a newer version of the app, then you have to use an alternative app instead.
None of this is Apple-specific nor is it anything new. It has been happening ever since computers started getting operating system updates back in the days of Windows 1 and Mac System 1, or even earlier with the likes of different versions of DOS. Even things like your expensive old 'smart' speaker may no longer work if you update the software on your home hub.
