The reason it wasn’t backported is stated upstream:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/92591
We don’t backport patches that introduce translatable strings, because of the
additional work that it would impose to volunteer translators. Just use a newer
series of the software.

Title:
LibreOffice 6.4 OpenType Features unusable
Status in LibreOffice:
Fix Released
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
When using OpenType features (Format - Character - Feature) from a
capable font like EB Garamond 12, LibreOffice automatically enables a
fractional style, which essentially makes all numerics unusable, and
there's no obvious way to disable this in the GUI once you've opened
the Features dialog.
There are two workaround, as all OpenType features get disabled when
selecting another font, and back again.
And, of course, one can remove :frac=1 manually from the font name
field.
This has however been fixed in LibreOffice 7.0 onward, but somehow
wasn't cherrypicked into 6.4.x, even though the change seems trivial:
https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/d28c9d56df8a2629321bda116a6d2dcfa587d160
Please consider including this cherrypick in a future package for
Ubuntu Focal.
The patch won't apply directly due to a filename typo getting
corrected, which needs to be uncorrected in the patch:
vcl/source/font/OpenTypeFeatureDefinitionList.cxx
vcl/source/font/OpenTypeFeatureDefinitonList.cxx
