Why does old software get buggy when it hasn’t been updated for a while? Shouldn’t have the same amount of bugs as it was when that version was released?

If you don’t update the operating system or any other dependencies, then it should run exactly the same, theoretically.
However, if you update your OS or some other driver, or java, or some other random component, it may impact that older software, thereby making it appear more buggy.
Also “buggy” is a bit generic. Why is it failing or crashing? If you update other applications, they may use more resources, so that leaves less for your “original app” – which may be one simple example of why it’s no longer seeming to work as well as it did previously.
