Mac firmware update problem, not widespread, but there. The issue is potential security risks.

Out of more than 73,000 Macs reviewed by the researchers, 4.2 percent didn't have the version of firmware they should've had. Some models of Apple computers, many of them older, were especially behind the curve, with 16 of them showing no firmware updates and 18 of them appearing only to have been updated before leaving the factory.

Apple will continue to offer software updates for its previous two operating systems, which would ostensibly include firmware updates, but it won't validate the firmware on a weekly basis. So for now, the only way to make sure you're running the most current firmware is to update to High Sierra.
