Air gapped machines and kernel live patching both exist.

And how many people use that? Most servers today are not air-gapped.
How many examples will you need before you say "oh ok, I can see some valid concerns."?

I've worked in places where expensive Lab equipment is running off outdated PCs/servers because updates aren't available and they will absolutely stay on for as long as possible.

We're not all silicon valley, things can be expensive and difficult to replace...

I have kernel live patching on my mother's computer because it means she has to know how to do less
Most server don't do that, but those that do are not crazy
