If for-profit companies need to use older kernels, they can hire engineers using the profits?

Yes, they can. But it's different from saying that no-one uses them.

I'm sure the nuance is not lost on the people that made the decision.

I'm just wondering if it is actually how you said, i.e. they don't want to provide free support to companies vs how he write, i.e. not enough users.
