Because it's in the FAQ. So please read the FAQ at
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-choosing.en.html#s3.1.3

No, definitely not. Especially not for a non-release critical bug.
A bugfix for a bug of severity "important" may be backported to stable
via stable-proposed-updates if the release team agrees. But that's not
guaranteed and if a bugfix will be backported or not is basically the
package's maintainer's decision.
But please be reminded that _only_ the bugfix can be backported to
stable, not a new upstream release.
