Or more devious, intentionally bricking the phone to push more people to upgrade. You know those mandatory updates for 7-8 years aren’t popular with manufacturers.
I think Occam’s razor applies more here; The simplest explanation is often the correct one. Why does a multi-billion corp ship a broken update?

At this point I just want Linux driver support from manufacturers and let the community handle features.
I would abolish mandatory updates altogether. Supprort it as long as you want.
However, once you stop support, you are required to unlock everything, release all manuals, materials and source code so that 3rd party providers can pick up support if they want to.
