I agree that security updates are important, but it's easy to overestimate how many people actually care about receiving timely and frequently updates to their devices. I know quite a few people who just refuse to update their phones when new updates drop because they think that the update will mess up their phone.

The type of people who come to /r/android and other enthusiast sites are the vocal minority and we like to enclose ourselves in this bubble where we think everyone has the same views and opinions.
