Redhat Enterprise compatible variant, mostly because there are security updates for a long time, most versions. And most paid support applications will only officially support RHEL variants or SLES variants (enterprise variants).
We used to run RHEL for the same reasons. Stable and patched for long periods.
The flipside was that the _supplied_ versions of software also remain the same. But you can always build/install modern versions for particular application needs (in a distinct area from the OS, of course). And things like Docker make running almost arbitrary Linux software on an old-but-stable release almost trivial.
