It’s already a huge pain to update once every year, imagine updating it after 12

you don't.

12-year lts means that over 12 years you get security fixes.

after 12 years you don't upgrade, you do a full reinstall/replatform.

You can still upgrade, upgrade every year, or every month even. This doesn't stop you from upgrading, it just doesn't force you to upgrade because the version is not out of support.
