I am using Kubuntu LTS 20.04, which will still be supported for another year. It uses Python 3.8. I think it would be a major obstacle for Ubuntu LTS users to have to upgrade the Python version they are using. I have done that in the past, but it led to endless confusion between the versions and more importantly, I try to remain compatible with my colleagues at work, who all use either Ubuntu LTS or Debian.
