Yes, the ZorinGroup had confirmed this at the start of development back when. It also can be considered confirmed by that 22.04 is currently the only released stable (LTS) Ubuntu version.
Ubuntu 24.04 is in development and has not been released and is not even due for release prior to the projected possible Zorin OS 17 release range.
I have seen posts requesting that Zorin 17 be based on Ubuntu 24.04 on the forum, but this is an unrealistic possibility.
If they were going to do anything other than 22.04 I would expect them to switch to a Debian base. While extremely unlikely as I mentioned was just curious.
If the ZorinGroup were to switch Bases, they would have announced it. 
They would not switch the base as a surprise to the users.
However, they have recently confirmed directly that they have no intention of switching to a different base at this time.
I chose not to use the sidebar. 
Where do they make these updates? I haven't seen anything. I would expect, as a pro user & paying for the product, I would get a newsletter or something. Haven't seen a single update since purchased.
Do you have automatic updates enabled?
I am not sure when you purchased, but since you joined the forum, there have been a minimum of three sets come down the pipe.
Which has even been verified by users asking about them on the forum.
You can check when the last update stamp was:
ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp
Or last apt package flow:
ls -l /var/log/apt/history.log
Or run
sudo apt update
and see if anything is awaiting. I just did... and sure enough:
31 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
31? I just upgraded yesterday! Well, ok then...
Let's see what they are:
apt list -u

Probably not lol...
Thanks for catching that typo. It appears I entered 18.04 twice in the list.
There is an existing thread on this question.
No, I am asking about updates from the devs stating they are using certain things or what will be in OS 17 etc...like a newsletter. Not updates to the OS from synaptic.
AH... ok. Yes, they uh... they really do not disclose a roadmap often...
This has been raised before. Rather harshly and vehemently and with no holds barred by ummm... Me. I did that.
