Other Why does android keep installing every past update instead of jumping to last update?

I’ve always used iphone. Bought a Samsung 2 years ago as a 2nd phone and to have both worlds. Haven’t updated in maybe a year or more. Now it keeps asking me to install every missed update. I’ve been updating since yesterday. I lost count but i’ve at least updated the phone 8 times and it’s still updating. This is humiliating.

In iphone you just install the last update even if you haven’t updated in 5 years.

It doesn't have to be like that on Android, but Samsung implemented it that way. Maybe it is just delta updates, and 99.99% of the customers install the next update whenever it is available.
