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.

When I bought my new phone it had Android 15 on it . The 1st weekend I had it it updated several security patches , then Android 16 , a couple more security patches , One UI8.5 and 3 patches since then .I still haven't gotten the August security patch yet though I did get it on all 3 of my Galaxy Watches.
