What does the label "18.04" tell you? It tells me that this installation is far out of date. Whoever complains about this drop of support should consider updating to a more current version for a number of reasons, including "This version of the OS is no longer supported" in general.
The thing that actually caused issues was that you could no longer use the remote ssh tools with servers that were running Ubuntu 18.04 (still has security updates until 2025), rhel 7 (isn’t eol until June), and “Amazon Linux 2” which is supported until 2025
That a software still gets security updates does not contraindicate that it is outdated.
