Buster is very old,

so am I :-) 71 next month.
Bullseye is the predecessor to Bookworm, and is

still receiving updates.

I was running Bullseye when the wifi started to fail.
AFAICT there was something about wps being deprecated and replaced with nm. But the confs were not converted. Other reasons have also been given. I wasn't amused to have to pull 21 SD cards and re-flash them especially as quite a few require ladders and a team of 3 guys to do it under current H&S rules.

Reminds me of an old engineering saying.
"If it's not broke, don't fix it" :-)
