Our infrastructure runs on Ubuntu 20.04 across the board but, for example, our main Ruby on Rails monolith runs Ruby 3.0, but Canonical only packages 2.7 for Focal. We have a legacy service which runs on 2.5 and a few microservices that run on 2.7. Having language versions tied to specific OS versions was a massive PITA for us in the past, now it doesn't even really matter all the much what OS is running the code. If we just used apt versions we'd be stuck on Ubuntu 18.04 for ruby 2.5 and we'd have to ugprade the entire application in order to get it to run on 20.04 once it goes out of support. Yuck Nevermind trying to setup a development environment where you have multiple dependencies on different language runtimes.
