The way I read it patches for the LTS versions stop being available to open source consumers when the next minor release occurs. That means open source Qt applications are forced to deal with all the new bugs that come with a new Qt release much more regularly, saving the commercial customers the hassle. That is exactly why they did this, they even say so in the announcement. That makes Qt a lot less attractive to me.
