Exactly. And 14 % is a lot of devices. If there really were security
risks like the "newer is always better" faction continues to claim,
wouldn't we have heard about serious exploits by now?

And most if not nearly all Raspberry applications I have seen are either
strictly local or at least behind a router.

And if new really was better, why is it always and nearly exclusively
only the early adopters of updates that really get hit by exploits?
