There is a line on the output of your command that reads:
"197 additional updates are available with UA Infrastructure ESM"
It appears that you are running a very old very of your OS.
It's essentially saying that you need an Extended support contract in
order to continue to get updates to your OS

I also noticed that you have "apt list --upgradable", but it's spelled
"upgradeable", so that's probably why you got the list of options
instead of a list of upgradeable packages.
