For regular updates, because you can minimize but not eliminate risk. As I say in the article that might or might not work for your requirements and practices. For libraries, you also cause compounding churn for your dependents.

For security vulnerabilities, I argue that updating might not be enough! What if your users’ data was compromised? What if your keys should be considered exposed? But the only way to have the bandwidth to do proper triage is by first minimizing false positives.
