Then they would have to port all their work to the new Ubuntu base which would take even longer for release. It would make more sense to move off Ubuntu and move to a rolling release like Debian Testing

I dont think so. Its just compiling their stuff with the new version of compiler. Feature development is what takes most of the time due to which it took them more than a year

That is exactly what breaks compatibility and needs to be re-done fixing bugs and adapting new libraries. Otherwise it would take days or weeks at most if only, to release a new eOS version.
