Even if you are stuck with Marshmallow, you are getting new Chrome or Gmail.

No support in iOS land means no new Safari, Mail, or other built-in apps.

I'm going to made a broad assumption. This is the only leverage that device manufacturers have to get people to upgrade. The tablet experience doesn't degrade the same way that phones do.

Is that compelling enough, though? Most normal users are bothered by updates. That's why we see better cameras, or other user visible features as a reason to upgrade.
