This is very useful for when you have to use an older ubuntu version and want updates.
Ubuntu Pro is particularly valuable for older Ubuntu releases (e.g., LTS versions like 16.04, 18.04, etc.) that may no longer receive standard updates.
With Ubuntu Pro, you get Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM), which provides security updates and patches for up to 10 years, even for packages in the Ubuntu Main and Universe repositories.
This is a lifesaver for legacy systems that need to stay secure.
