Lenovo is a $56B company, and they are claiming it's infeasible to test a dozen phones against several versions of Android.

Yes, please feel free to take them to task over that.

But while you are doing so, please avoid misrepresentations as egregious as Motorola announcing that they will stop updating their phones with the new security updates. (and less egregious ones too).

It might be more charitable to assume their intent wasn't to mischaracterize.
That's why I used the word mischaracterize. It doesn't really examine intent, it points at the result.

For instance, you can mischaracterize something by not understanding it or by not being informed at all about it or by intentionally lying.

Fair point. The tone I perceived definitely seemed accusatory. It seems I'm the one that should have been more charitable. Sorry about that.
