i guess it would be nice, but packages being a few months out of date is pretty normal for Ubuntu, in my experience. i’m not sure what their testing process is like, but part of using something like Ubuntu is stability guarantees. if they felt like the couldn’t do that for newer versions for whatever reason (resource constraints, lack of downstream interest from stakeholders, etc) they’re not necessarily obligated to.

2 months. lts or not, ubuntu’s freeze date is and has historically been about two months before release.
if the 2 year cycle between lts is too long for someone, they don’t have to stay on that ride.
