If you need a reason, the modem and the baseband firmware have several unpatched vulnerabilities on that model, which is not something that an Android update can resolve.

Is there an easy way to tell if there are unpatched vulnerabilities in my phone's modem and baseband?

In a practical sense, what are the consequences of that? If you're careful about not installing random shit on your phone?
