Questions
Why is Extended Maintenance needed for apps in Ubuntu 20.04.x LTS in 2021?
Which are those 10 security updates that need ESM? Is there a link where they are listed?
Where are the 152 packages (that need ESM) listed?

This sounds like a misleading, incorrect message. ESM wouldn’t be needed (or even enabled) until 20.04 is EOL, in 2025. Can you file a bug issuing the following command: ubuntu-bug update-manager-core ?
There seems to be a misleading, incorrect message in
ubuntu- security- status
ESM wouldn’t be needed (or even enabled) until 20.04 is EOL, in 2025.
