I'd say Stretch is "stable", and soon to become "old-stable", so I
guess not
much is upgraded.
Anyway I think this "upgrade/update" craze is mostly the result from
Microsoft, Apple and Google having to frequently patch their buggy OSes and
using this to force users to adopt their latest control options. Now it's
become a fashion.
I have here a few installs with fairly old Linux versions and never got a
problem - I agree I'm certainly not a prime taget for hackers...
