Numerous pieces of software do LTS with no additional cost or supported via other avenues.
It's literally just branching at one release and fixing bugs in that release for a few years, which also benefits upstream branches.
That way people may lose new features but gain stability.

It may also benefit upstream branches, but again porting patch between branches takes time, especially after massive refactoring happened on latest branch.
