Go 1.17 will release with a lot of known bugs. Continuing to ship it a year later with known bugs is not different.
But more deeply, LTS ships buggy versions of the software. That's the point - only the truly dangerous bugs (e.g. compilation-triggered RCE or something) get fixed, everything else stays compatible even if it's otherwise undesirable or suboptimal. Code depends on those bugs.
