And now instead of having a small update every now and then that you can perhaps try to adapt to, you have a massive update every 5 years or whatever (or less if you happened to start out just before the next LTS) that'll basically guaranteed wreck everything (by design even!!) and for all intents and purposes might as well not exist cause there's no way you're upgrading to the horrible "new" mess. And we're back at people being stuck on outdated software, but now there's just absolutely no way whatsoever you'll get them to upgrade.

Never mind the problem of if you started out on a non-LTS version.

And also the problem of not getting the actually nice updates, and perhaps losing app compatibility.

So, no, not solved at all.
