      Exactly, they EOL it after 10 years. And that’s MICROSOFT. Reddit is smaller by many orders of magnitude.

      If anything, backward compatibility is Google’s fault.

        Bingo. For a lot of devices, especially anything made after 2015-ish, there’s no real reason why mid to high-end devices couldn’t be running the most recent OS version outside of “it’s a lot of work to certify updates for so many devices”. Thankfully Android has a custom ROM scene which keeps devices going for a few years longer.
