I haven't updated utorrent since 2012 and I've never noticed any differences. I have it setup how I like it and it works.

Yeah, 2.2 was like 2010 IIRC. It looks like they've since released a 2023 "2.2.1" to trick people in to downloading the updated spyware version.

Incidentally, this is the kind of behavior why I never personally recommend it to anyone I know.

Not updated since 2012? How is it not full of security holes?

No, if you did update it it would be full of security holes.
