Because you want to use LTS for ten years instead of five?
Man I’m kinda glad I moved on from Ubuntu. I used to like it, but my interest fell a while back and I can’t even really explain why.

That’s bullshit, it’s still free for the normal lts support. Only if you want support after that you’ll have to pay, or upgrade to the next version for free.
Horrendous how canonical engineers with bills to pay might want to monetise their labour!
More seriously, open source should not be confused with free labour. Do you think Linus works on the kernel for free? He does not, nor should he. We are all lucky to benefit from 5 years free updates from Ubuntu. You need longer, because your use case is so mission critical? then pay for the engineer’s time.
Edit: grammar
