Do they really imperatively need to be compliant ? (i genuinely don't know, but it seems weird to me, it feels like i can just postpone updates indefinitely on linux)

Or is this that it's way better to be compliant, so companies need to enforce it on their computers (but individuals may not have this need) ?

    You can postpone them but it’s a risk. Companies try to mitigate risks, because they don’t want to get hacked or fined because they don’t follow regulation. And to be honest it’s in your best interest to be up to date too. It’s not such a pain in the ass to reboot your computer every once in a while :)

    Plus, he is on Linux. It would take him all of 5 minutes to update on the slowest of hardware.

    As long as he’s not using Gentoo with ebuilds (which I’m 99% positive he isn’t);)
