Canonical already maintains security patches for paying customers so they aren't actually doing any extra work, but putting it behind a subscription gives them an option to start charging more for desktops, gives clear cost for server use, and maybe is marketing for "look at the premium work we do".

Seems really dodgy to me making your business model holding security features hostage for either money or sign-ups, honestly.

Kindof like charging people for vaccines against deadly diseases or something.

But then again, my craw may be extra susceptible to sticking when it comes to such things.
