iOS 15 will continue receiving security updates for a while yet, so there’s no pressing reason to upgrade. Or you could donate the phone to Apple in case they can melt it down and reuse it instead of shredding it.

A great maps feature would be to even let me choose google maps when clicking on an address in iMessage.

iOS 15 will be getting patches even if iOS 14 and 13 don't.

It's the iOS app support that suffers. Apple makes it pretty unbearable to get apps for unsupported devices so I take those and relegate them to single use non-data holding devices like dashcams and other uses.
Oh that’s a bonus for me, I want her to use it basically for phone, imessage, and find my!
Apple’s call and sms spam filtering remains subpar to say the least. When I had a Pixel, I had the option to let the OS transcribe what the potential spammer was saying and end the call. It’s puzzling why Apple isn’t doing more here.
Select "Silence unknown callers" and you're done. Last month I had a flurry of spam texts and calls. I moved the slider to the "enable" side a few weeks ago and have had zero issues since.
I missed a hospital calling about a family member. They should have left a voicemail, but they didn't.

Passkeys gonna be fire. Goodbye password managers, credential stuffing, and phishing attacks! (photo deduplication is nice too btw, been a long time coming)
Fire so long as sites implement them. Given how "quickly" yubikeys or even just touch ID webauthn have been going around, it doesn't seem very imminent :( Hopefully Firebase or AWS offer an easily accessible way to add passkeys etc as auth methods.
Still no ability to have separate accounts on an ipad... I sort of understand that a phone is a single user OS, but the ipad most certainly should be a multi user OS.

Boy do i have a lifehack for you. Buy a phone number with a random area code, like ohio or something, all the spam calls come from surrounding area codes.
Do people still get excited for these smartphone OS updates? I remember a couple of years ago I couldn't wait to see what the new features were. Now I don't think I've changed the way I use my phone for several years.
