So, I installed LivePatch on 2 machines. One of them Ubuntu 20.04.2 and the other 18.04.5. New kernel versions came with security fixes. LivePatch did not do anything. I had to install the new kernel updates and still reboot. What am I missing here? Does LivePatch even do anything? I don't think so...

Check your kernel versions. Livepatch supports only GA kernels (the ones that are the official ones at the LTS release). If you manually update the kernel, you may end in a different (newer) version that is not supported.
Check versions here: https://ubuntu.com/security/livepatch/docs/kernels
