It is an inherent flaw of android. Imagine no Windows update because Lenovo stopped support for 4 year old notebooks

Funny comparison seeing as Windows decided to drop support for any machines without TPM (some as young as 2017/2018)

It's 7 years because there limiting factor is hardware firmware support. A lot of desktop hardware does not receive firmware updates above 4 years either but that just gets shrugged off like you do because "OS still gets updates so it means it's secure".
