This is totally me just being naive, I don’t work in the software realm but do have an interest possibly one day, but if we have stuff that’s been able to run (seemingly) successfully for years, or maybe even decade, what maintenance needs to even be done on old programs? Is this simply for people discovering security vulnerabilities and patching them? Is there more to it than that?

Some of it is adding new features or making sure existing features keep working as other software/hardware changes. Some of it is fixing bugs that hadn’t been noticed before. Some is improving performance.
