Some are outdated and some are more up to date than the current viewer libraries. 
They usually get serious amount of public flack if security issues are not fixed, meaning they are automatically patched when users upgrade their systems.  

• The other thing is they are all compiled both 32 and 64 bit so they can be used for either architecture. 

• Equally important is they are battle tested on tens of millions of macOS installs. 

• They also build with the latest development tools (unless they are ancient such as OpenAL that needs Carbon, and only will build 32 bit.)
