iOS 12.4.6 doesn't bring any new features, instead just fixing security issues. However, it still shows Apple's interest in users of old devices.
Some devices on Apple's updated list, such as the iPhone 5s or iPad Air, are more than 6 years old. This number is doubled, even tripled compared to most current high-end Android smartphones, as Android manufacturers usually only support software updates for 2-3 years.
