Devbundle includes MongoDB 7. Any reason why we’re stuck with such an old version?

The local mongodb (in the meteor tools devbundle) is v7.0.16 (as of meteor 3.5), but MongoDB 8 was released in Oct 2024.
Is there any reason (e.g. incompatibility) for this? Does Meteor 3.5.x support MongoDB 8?

In addition, Meteor 3.5.x’s bundled 7.0.16 is ~23 patch releases behind the current 7.0 LTS (7.0.39).
