As there are LTS branches, currently 5.4, 5.10, 5.15, 6.1 and 6.6 which will get updates until Decembre 2025/2026, I don't see the problem.
And the older they are the less secure they are. LTS are not as great as people think. https://ciq.com/blog/why-a-frozen-linux-kernel-isnt-the-safest-choice-for-security/
The article is about frozen vendor kernels, not about.LTS
Two different things. LTS kernels get security patches until their support is dropped.
Yeah that's the whole point of LTS, so it stays compatible with that kernel version but still gets important updates, but no feature updates
