LTS releases aren't really about stability or upgradability; in practice I think they're more often used as an excuse to never upgrade because the risk of applying 2-5 years of changes at once is too high. It sounds like k8s is trying to nudge people into a more continuous deployment model.

The last thing I want from an external supplier of something I depend on is to have them driving my development and release cycle. I'll expend the resources to upgrade to your latest version when it's worth my time and cost.

Edit: I'm speaking to the vendor here, not you, of course...

And you can indeed just sit around on an older version. The vendor in this case just won't bother doing stuff to help you.
