This has always bugged me because not providing even security patches is straight-up malpractice in my book.

Given all the attention lightning cables get in terms of e-waste, someone should ask lawmakers worried about e-waste to consider the impact of Android's enforced obsolescence policy -- no security updates means the device is effectively vulnerable and not usable.

Google and all the big handset manufacturers (Samsung, Xiaomi, etc) could easily provide updates should they choose to -- some of them release multiple times a a year (e.g., OnePlus; and Samsung introduces new products throughout the year) but don't have the resources to provide security updates? Give me a break.

I'm hoping they do the right thing before legislation forces their hand.
