It does! It's a bit trickier than just getting it from the MS Store, because that's not a thing in Windows 10 LTSC, but you can install some dependencies and get Terminal from GitHub[1]. I just set it up a couple days ago on an LTSC virtual machine, and it works just fine.

As of May 11, 2021, all editions of Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019 have reached end of servicing, except LTSC editions.

The LTSC versions get 10 years of security updates.

Ah, interesting. I wasn’t aware of that.
I even checked endoflife.date, but it looks like they aren’t aware either!
Most of the annoyances are removed from there, and you can stick with an older version and not be forced to take the "feature" updates, 1809 works well.
The only issue i had is their new Terminal app is not supported, i forget why. Last i read they were working on support, maybe it works now.
A local KMS activator will license it, then you don't worry about adverts in Explorer, for a few years at least...
