Yes, you’re right about those extra two years (11 and 12), but in my understanding, legacy support is strictly for paying support customers. In other words, the Legacy add-on is not included in the free-for-personal-use Pro license on up to five machines.

Not correct. Canonical announced on 3/26/24 that it had added an additional 2 years to Ubuntu Pro for a total of 12 years of extra support, not 10 years. I have Ubuntu Pro on 3 of my 5 laptops!
