Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
I think you may misunderstand how the yadedaily packaging system works.

Yadedaily is compiled, checked, and tested, separately for each of these
Ubuntu versions. So from a Yade perspective, these three operating
systems will run Yadedaily without error. However, from an OS LTS
perspective [1], 16.04 is no longer supported by canonical, 18.04 will
lose support in 2023, and 20.04 will lose support in 2025. So if you are
builing a new computer, you might as well start with the newest OS so
you do not need to worry about losing support.
