I don’t really care if I’m running a kernel from 5 years ago as long as I’m still getting timely security updates. What I care about is having up to date versions of the apps I actually use day-to-day - through Flatpack, Docker or whatever, and I prefer to have an up to date WM cos it’s something I interact with a lot.
you probably have old hardware in that case
the latest kernel releases greatly helped with the effiency of newer AMD and Intel (Hybrid) CPUs which can give you a longer battery usage on laptops
