When we upgrade our very outdated phones or laptops, sometimes, they cannot be upgraded directly to the latest version. First, We need to upgrade them to the one, in between the current one and the up-to-date one.
Could someone explain me in simple way? Thank you in advance.

When installing updates you are not downloading/installing the entire OS, but rather a patch to an existing OS. This massively saves space on the download, as a full is image is quite large.
However, patched require a base version to generate. Thus, to make it work on multiple base systems, you need to generate multiple patches.
Often it is simply easier to generate one and say “everyoneust be at this parent to install the patch”
