Would we tolerate anything else that got worse over time, not as a result of normal wear and tear but because the manufacturer suddenly decided it should?
This is a good point, but the issue is that vendors have abused this need by not just pushing security updates, but also regular rewrites that make the products more invasive/full of language model shit - Exhibit A being anything at all from Microsoft

You can’t maintain security and feature changes separately long term.
And why not ? Care to explain ?
In a sane development model there is not any technical problem to do it.
Windows itself already splits those up in security and feature updates…
