To keep their walled garden.
The officially given reason probably was “sEcUriTy”
Security is the main reason you should get an iPhone, tbh.
Not really, pretty much every brand has had security issues and they all patch them fairly quickly
Thats not true. There are still phones out there being actively used that have been end of life for years now. There is no way to corral those insecure devices.
I’d have to review exactly how long each brand releases updates for, especially because they’ve all been one upping each other recently. However there’s nothing specific to Apple’s anticompetitive behavior that relates to how long they release updates for.
Ideally they’d all provide support for longer
The lack of updates to old devices might be exactly why apple doesn’t want to be compatible with them. It’s a HUGE attack surface. They can’t babysit every device’s downfall.
