Doesn't matter, a security update is a security update. So, especially when you work in a larger company, you end up having strict compliance requirements to keep things up to date.
I'm as annoyed by it as the next guy. The supposed vulnerabilities are almost never actually relevant for frontend code, and rather assume that you are running Node as a web server.
It's just one of those weird things that has resulted from how the JavaScript ecosystem has centralized around using node for everything (i.e. building frontend code as well as executing backend code - even though the two have kind of nothing to do with each other.)
