The support most organisations need is security updates for older versions. The free OpenJDK forks provide longer term security updates for their releases.
Oracle uses a more tricky setup. Every LTS release and its updates, but only until 1 year after the next LTS release, is covered by their "no-fee license". After that 1 year the updates are under a different license that only allows personal/development use or use on Oracle cloud. So any commercial user needs to buy a license from Oracle for these versions.
