End users can stay at old versions and old distros for as long as they like.

Most users can benefit from security updates, though. They might also (maybe) get better performance, new features and a smoother user experience.

Okay? That has very little to do with anything I wrote. Xorg is maintained, python2 was maintained for a long time into 3's lifecycle, and GTK and systemd shouldn't have broken anything for users. None of this requires foregoing updates.
