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?

Have you ever read Shakespeare? It’s written in English, but English has changed over the years so what he wrote doesn’t quite make sense anymore. Same idea with software: Windows 98 and Windows 10 are both “Windows” but they do things differently, so what used to work talking in Window 95 doesn’t necessarily work taking in Windows 10 (or even things written in Windows 10 old patch vs Windows 10 new patch depending on what the patch changed).
