The obvious difference is that version N-1 has a known vulnerability that could potentially be exploited, and everyone now knows about it.

And the version N+1 has exploits only the hackers know so as long as the general public is oblivious it's "secure".

Let's be clear the security vulns will never end and if you're running anything connected to the network eventually you'll get pwned.
