> relativly short lifespan - maybe 5-10 years at best

If you had to keep the door to your house unlocked for 5-10 years would you still consider it relatively short? How about if you couldn't patch your OS for the same length of time?

Being stuck with such vulnerabilities for years is only short if nothing that tech touches is of much value to you.
