That is technically correct, but the freeze period is quite long as well. As a result, the software is significantly older. For example, the Bookworm freeze started in January 2023, so the desktop apps are based on the Gnome release of September 2022. When Trixie will be released, the apps in Bookworm will be almost three years old. This is where average users feel the age. Ubuntu schedules its LTS release always for April (normal releases October), because Gnome is always releasing in March and September. So for Ubuntu LTS users, the age of desktop apps is up to two years. Fortunately, the Debian Gnome team has already included the current release candidate (scheduled for March 19, 2025) for Trixie.
