connecting iPhone to MacBook Air
Why do I have to upgrade to macOS Big Sur in order to connect my phone to my Mac? I am happy with using macOS Catalina and don't want to change. This seems completely unnecessary.

The "software update" is just a small update needed to be compatible
with the iPhone or iOS on the phone itself. It does not install a new
version of macOS.
If you actually needed a macOS update it would have
stated that your version of macOS is incompatible and
that you must upgrade to a newer version of macOS
(and would typically indicate the minimum version required).
