Sure, but in some products that's really a non-issue.

Like, take photoshop for an example. If you're a photographer that only ever edits your own photos, the odds of a needing a security update for photoshop are really minimal.

If you regularly edit photos from clients, maybe it's worth considering.

Eh, it still depends.

Is it riskier than keeping an updated copy? Sure. Is the expected return period of a hack given your circumstances above a threshold that is acceptable to you? Maybe, maybe not.
