No, that's not how Ubuntu stable releases work. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for details. Or, in other words, we did update it - we call it Ubuntu 18.10. The next release will most likely have 1.4.16. 1.5 has yet to be packaged, and needs able volunteers to join the packaging team if you want it sooner. We're past feature freeze now, so the earliest it can be expected, if volunteers appear, is in the Ubuntu 19.10 release. Alternatively someone could volunteer to package it as a snap and make the latest available to all Ubuntu releases at once, as well as to other distributions. See https://snapcraft.io/ for details.
