They're not doing anything against that. ESM packages are simply from a separate, paid for, repository. They're not even stopping you from doing "apt download xxx" on a subscribed machine and installing it elsewhere. It simply becomes hassle free when you have a subscription. Regarding kernel patches, the advantage of Ubuntu Advantage is that you don't need to reboot. It's live patching. Similar (or same?) as what Oracle offers for their Unbreakable Linux.
