It's only been 2.5 years since they said that. I'm sure they will walk back on their word before it has been 7 years.

The increased update timelines by Google, Samsung and others roughly coincided with EU legislation coming into effect that mandates 5 years of updates after end of sales. We'll see.

Do you have any part examples of them committing to a specific support timeline on a product and reneging on it? I can't think of one.

I mean I guess anything is possible, but the Pixel 6 and 7 also are receiving 5+ years of updates, and those sure seem real so far.
