I think you miss the point here. Security updates for phones need to be longer than 3 years -- for that reason.

The pixel 2 is already EOL'd 4 years after it's release, but it can still make 911 calls. I believe there are people that still depend upon that phone to make phone calls -- and therefore need 911 when they need it.

Oh definitely. I wasn't disagreeing with that aspect. Everybody had been focusing on how the Pixel line would be able to solve this issue which kinda ignores that bigger issue that the entire industry needs to be maintaining these security updates. There's no good reason for OS security updates to be gated behind manufacturer control.
