ELI5: Why are there so many updates for Flash and why do almost all plug-ins suddenly stop working if I don't immediately install every new update?

It has to be constantly updated due to new demands or new potential security issues.

Flash is a life-line for a lot of things. Without an updated version it won't function. More than likely, they disable previous versions of Flash so they can make sure you have the most correct and current version.
