> They lack security updates

Very few projects update dependencies that often, and only very big ones are found with security issues that often.

> lack integrations with new platforms

You don't need a new intration _every 2 days_, not to mention that many projects don't need such integrations at all. Moreover some popular and updated projects lack such integrations despite having lot of commits.

> lack support for new HW architectures

This is something that many projects get for free. But also, you don't get a new HW architecture every 2 days.

> lack newer privacy guarantees

What more privacy guarantees do I need from projects that don't communicate with external services or store data at all?

People who are earnestly engaging with their point have assumed “two days” was hyperbole so that they can instead respond to the greater idea, yet you have not: you’re stuck on an unserious detail like it’s the lynchpin of their claim.
