Always wandering why it isn’ t possible for Microsoft to maintain their version and update all along. Linux can do it, Android can do it. I’ m not sure about Apple.
I switched to Linux years ago and I’m still most satisfied about my choice. My current laptop is from 2009 and can still go on for years. That is what you call sustainability
If there’s no IP barrier, the products can come back when the demand is back.
Which is one of the reasons I’m against copyright and of course reverse-engineering and modding and emulation being legally suppressed.
Say, one can easily understand how 90s’ era of good old software and hardware ended. Modern business models there are more profitable. But those models lead to degeneracy, and they wouldn’t be competitive if the old things were competitive for longer, and the old things would be if not for copyright. More paths is always better.

Sustainable products are not profitable products. Look at what happened to Tupperware.

But then the People wouldnt pay for it over and over again?
People are way less willing to pay for updates than for whole new versions.
Apple and companies using Android are selling hardware, not software like Microsoft.
They make most of their money from pro licenses and telemety data anyway, I’m sure.
Pay for windows?
Android doesnt, my S8 can no longer be updated and many apps are beginning to no be supported. I love this phone, all the new ones are way too big.
Lineageos. I’m like 1 android version behind latest on s9.
Also it depends on the chip maker and the phone maker. Fairphone will get the latest for like a decade…
