I would like to understand why apt-get upgrade holds backup the upgrade of the Linux kernel.

Because the kernel ABI changed, and a new package has to be installed.
It's not just an upgrade of an existing package.

By default, "apt upgrade" will allow new packages to be installed, but
"apt-get upgrade" will not.

You can use "apt-get dist-upgrade".  Or you can use
"apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade".

Or simply "apt upgrade", which can install new packages (but cannot remove installed packages, unlike "apt-get dist-upgrade").
