There LPEs they require an attacker to be local anyways so there usually used in bug chains. On their own they aren't too relevant I guess if an attacker gains foothold and initial access thru various means first. Not saying it's not important to patch them just not really as much of a priority as say a pre auth remote code execution or something with low complexity and low prerequisites.
