Think of it this way:

Would you rather leave door wide open and signs saying come inside and take all the info about me, along with all my moment

Or

Have your data, & money protected in all kinds of defense systems so it makes billions times harder to take all of that

That's what security updates are for. Same for other apps as well when they find things bad actors will try to exploit
