If he keeps using the Ledger Nano with Electrum software, he won't need to upgrade the firmware unless he chooses to do so. Firmware updates are exclusively carried out via Ledger Live.

Except in the case that for some reason it is necessary to update the Bitcoin app on Ledger, and the condition for this is the latest firmware. What I want to say is that there are ways with which Ledger could perhaps go in the direction of somehow forcing users to the new firmware.

Besides, after all, who can claim that even the current firmware is not capable of performing some things that we thought were not possible at all. It all boils down to the fact that you believe that the other side has no malicious intentions, and by all accounts, their intentions are not very logical, to say the least.

Just to be clear, I wouldn't recommend buying a Ledger device to anyone, especially after the major data leak from their ecommerce database last year and this latest fiasco with the Ledger recover service. However, if he's comfortable with his current hardware device and doesn't plan on getting a new one, there doesn't seem to be any immediate danger (at least as far as we know) that would require him to stop from continuing to use it.
