Update Mac OS or not?; USB-C port service life?

1) I’ve noticed Mac OS is now as heavily updated as iOS. Not only is one expected to get the major OS update every year, but smaller updates are also now being regularly sent out. I’ve generally stuck to the OS version I got with my Mac laptop and just gone for the smaller updates, and that too intermittently.

Is there a problem if I ignore the yearly updates? The laptop is stable and there are no irritating phone apps that “require” constant updating. Also, is it okay if I go for the smaller updates once every few months, instead of as soon as they are issued?

2) I hook up my laptop to an old external monitor and need a USB hub to connect the two. I plug in about 4 times a day. Is there a chance that this might wear out the USB-C ports on the laptop? If yes, how much service life should I expect from either port?

Thanks!
