The core value proposition of suse, red hat, ubuntu lts is binary compatible drop in replacements to a froze version. Which has been created and received tons of back ported bug fixes during it's 3-9 months curing process aka beta program. So security updates keep coming and are fixed, while your application does not need to be forward ported, and has a rock solid foundation underneath. So the components are deliberately old. And bug fixed. And security maintained.
