Not applying a security update is willingly leaving a known security hole in place. At best, you are making your system insecure, and at worst, you are putting others on your network and/or in your social circles at risk.
or.... You are trying to avoid an update that is going to break your machine/workflow. If security updates were sent along a different channel than feature updates, this wouldn't be an issue. But companies keep tying these together, and there are only so many features you can carelessly break before users become aware of what you are really doing.
If you are not happy with the direction a certain piece of software is heading in, you are free to switch to a competitor that fits your workflow better.
This mentality is what led to Windows XP sticking around long after being declared dead.
