Software update for iPhone? 15.7.4 Sequoia on MBP mid 2012. Do we still connect phones to older Mac's?

(MBP 9,2 16GB 512GB SSD 2.5i5). Currently running 15.7.4 but installing 15.7.5. Is this just because it needs 15.7.5 or is it trying to scam me into downloading Tahoe? Does anyone still connect their phones to their older Mac's anymore?
