Actually, Ubuntu created the term "LTS" in 2006, for Long Term Support releases. Greg started using the term himself just a couple of years ago.

Re-reading my post it does sound a bit confusing.

What I meant is: Ubuntu LTS seems to not give a damn if the kernel they use is also an LTS release.

Examples would be: 14.04, 16.04 HWE kernels, 18.04 (currently planned to be 4.15).
