As you can observe this bug on ubuntu product their EOL's looks like ended before their paid support dates which is impossible, EOL mean completely dead brach not have any commercial or free support exist.

Btw even canonical is in same idea with me , its end of life parts doesnt match ours : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

But that's not how most product on endoflife.date are documented. See documentation of the eol field on https://endoflife.date/contribute:

this date reflects what is true for the majority of users (you may use the eoes field if possible/necessary).

I think that most users use the free version when there is one and do not pay even when possible. So usually documenting the end of standard support as eol is the way to go, and paid support is documented using eoes.
