Microsoft? Support Gates Inc?

No thanks.

I wish I could remember the last time my Mac had to update for “security” reasons.

As a fellow Mac user, may I respectfully suggest that you aren't paying enough attention, or perhaps have notifications turned off. MacOS gets security updates fairly regularly. Not as often as Windows, but that's in part because Apple batches them up after a couple months instead of the second Tuesday of every month. MacOS updates are usually big because they wrap a lot of fixes into them.

Please don't fall into complacency just because you aren't running Windows. MacOS and Linux aren't flawless -- all software, all operating systems, all applications, all have security issues.
