SM-T865 (Android 9) stock not getting Android updates - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers

Hello Everyone!
I have a a Tab S6 currently on Android 9 (stock) that unfortunately still won't get Android updates. I know Pie went out more than 3 years ago and I'd like to at least get on Android 10. But since I got this last December, I've been checking for new updates every week and I'm always told that my software is up to date.
Would you guys happen to know why that is the case?
Thank you very much in advance!

I have two Note 10+'s, both stock with their original firmware, one's running on Pie, the other 10. Pie has better functionality and usability.
Security is simply not an issue unless you do stupid things*.
Leave it on Pie and be happy... you can upgrade at any time, no rush.
*if you use wifi (which I never do) that is a known vulnerability in Pie. Android 10 is more hardened for those attacks. It's more a public unsecure wifi issue which you should never use anyway.
If you use wifi or bluetooth in high population density areas you should research those vulnerabilities and then decide.
I'm ready to reload at anytime and my critical data is redundantly backed up... so I just don't care. My current load on my Pie variant will be 2 yo in June, still fast, stable with minimal maintenance. What's not to like?

Thank you very much for your input. I would definitely consider leaving it on Pie.

You're welcome.
I really like Pie. Having 2 near identical N10+'s allows me to compare both OS versions side by side. Android 10 has dozens of new small Samsung system apps to maintain the UI's functionality and appearance. Both versions look nearly identical but Pie is easier to navigate the settings. There's no cpu cycle sucking scoped storage with Pie, it seems largely inactive in 10.
That changes with 11 and 12 is completely fubar.
Install Karma Firewall. A VPN based freeware app the uses almost no battery and will help secure your device and let you what accessing the internet. It's valuable logging feature is fully functional in Pie, but not Android 10.
It's on Playstore too.
