What exactly is the point of rolling release? My pc (well, the cpu) is 15 years old, I dont need bleeding edge updates. Or is it for security ?

what happens after those x years?
The same that happens when you update to receive a breaking change on a rolling distro. It’s version number go up, just at a different point in time.
Depends on the exact system but there will be a method to switch to a newer release channel without reinstalling. Rinse and repeat every x years.
