Their goal is to flood a server somewhere with so much data that it crashes, or send spam e-mail, etc., and they really don't care what the side-effects are to you.
They only want a bunch of machines that they can control, in lots of different places, and yours just happens to be available. They really don't want to attack anyone specifically. If you don't see why someone would want to attack YOU, you're probably right. If you can guarantee that you'll never get attacked, it's fine. (another source of that knowledge is the updates themselves: there are people who study them so that they can get into people's systems who choose not to update) And because it's not worth supporting old feature sets and paradigms indefinitely, the security fixes also come with the new toys.and their new problems.
Someone will find a weakness that has always been there, and now that it's become known, not updating leaves you open to that attack. Click to expand.The only exception to that would be online security.
