Edit – also why do phone refuse to work without an update or force you to do so? (Like my phone forcing an update and restarting itself)
I imagine it’s just programming built into a phones os to keep all other smartphones “on the same page” since they all deal with internet but is it actually necessary for operation?

The updates are a mixture of security fixes, bug fixes and feature improvements.
The frequency is because of security issues, you don’t want to have to wait 6 months to patch a bug that lets someone remotely take over your phone.
They are forced because the one consistent behaviour of people with internet connected devices is that they don’t install patches unless they are forced to. Companies got fed up with getting blamed for security holes that they fixed but people hadn’t installed the patch for.
