Software/firmware updates can also address bugs and deliver quality of life improvements for the user.
In some cases, software bugs can also be #security bugs (like race conditions) or become vulnerabilities of their own.
In any case, you as the user can’t take advantage of addressed bugs without updating.
Timely (security) updates improve your security posture, addressing known bugs and security vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
