Society or companies are paying in many cases for LTS <<15 yrs. So at least there should be a price tag to compare the options. If I buy a car (which is a lot of software these days), I expect something like 20 yes LTS. So it is simple as that software support needs to be tied to reasonable hardware lifetime otherwise it is planned obsolecence (at least if you cannot run it air gapped). 5yrs is reasonable for servers, phones or toys I guess. But particularly many embedded systems that worst case have been certified need longer support (medical, automation, transport, ...). Maybe better circular economies for HW would be a better way out in the future. Maybe we could even safe resources if e.g. energy expensive computing parts of HW could be replaced. The problem is current certification proceedures ansld related costs I guess.
