The problem is that nobody enjoys porting bugfixes to old LTS releases and thus won't volunteer to do it.

So, you either have to use some Enterprise OS that you pay a license to make people do it, or just miss out on bug fixes.

KDE community stopped releasing LTS versions when they realized they were doing the latter.
