Did you realize that Torvalds did not have anything to do with Linux 2.6.32.70?

He offloaded the whole project onto another team (who mostly backported fixes) that kept it going until early 2016. The rest of us were already in Linux 4.X territory by then.

If you cant maintain it, you can pay someone.

Or, thanks to Github, lets talk about letting the code-literate userbase sort it out themselves. Assuming they care enough.

Or, we could pivot this discussion to the "evils of Capitalism" and whatnot since that userbase probably needs to eat.

This assumes there is a team or a "code-literate userbase" and you trust them enough not to do bad things with your software (e.g. add adverts, tracking, backdoors or miners)

Or we could try to back and accept that software could also simply be a tool and doesn't have to be an enterprise.
