Right, and part two, is that in the case of RHEL they backport features required to run on newer hardware, or enable things required for newer software stacks (crypto protocols for example). It just depends on whether its possible to maintain API/ABI stability and support the newer feature.
Vs, the other LTS distros that just track the upstream LTS kernel. That kernel both breaks things, as well as is "old" because its only generally taking security and bug fixes.
