There's also security updates for the two older versions of macOS
- Big Sur: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213055 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213055
- Catalina: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213056 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213056
Though the Monterey update fixes 13 CVEs and the Big Sur and
Catalina updates only address 7 and 5 CVEs respectively.
It seems unlikely that Big Sur just isn't vulnerable to so many of the Monterey CVEs and instead this is just Apple prioritizing fixes for the latest macOS version. Officially Apple of course only provides security updates for the latest version.
Edit: Here's a list of the security issues fixed in the Monterey update that aren't mentioned in the Big Sur update: https://gist.github.com/varenc/7722a0fe198d85a7e49544bcf4066d97 https://gist.github.com/varenc/7722a0fe198d85a7e49544bcf4066...
