I can't find numbers, but an awful lot of customers are still on RHEL 7 which was released in 2014. It's old but it's way more up to date than Ubuntu 14.04.

I myself only switched (to CentOS Stream 9) last February for my personal servers.

Canonical started that 10 year thing only recently (maybe around 18.04). Also, you need to be on the pro subscription to get updates beyond 5 years. So a more accurate comparison would be 18.04+pro and RHEL 8, accounting for the fact that RHEL 8 is a year newer. Or 22.04 and RHEL 9.

Still on RHEL 7? We upgraded to RHEL 7 from RHEL 6x three months ago :-)
