Why?

Because this Pi is running My Home Automation and Buster is marked as LTE. Never change a running system ;-)

No longer supported OS, probably, and new developments making old stuff

incompatible. Also, rpi.gpio is not gpiozero. See https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating_from_rpigpio.html

I know, but during searching internet, some hints are to install gpiozero.

Debian perhaps, but Raspberry Pi OS abandons old versions quickly.

I know, but during searching internet, some hints are to install gpiozero.

All hints should say that. Switch now or be left behind. Main thing however
is to install a new OS on a fresh SD card or disk and try out that. I
repeat: Raspberry Pi OS is not Debian!
