“Bitcoin Core requires a one-time download of about 500GB of data plus a further 5-10GB per month.”

Why can’t we download this to an external drive and just plug it in once a week to update and for when we need to use it?

You can. Problem is validating blocks takes time. If you keep your node behind you might find yourself having to wait several days to confirm a transaction.

Also keeping it online helps others too.
