I bought two Android One devices... I'm afraid that the program is now dead:

Their "Explore our latest phones" section shows 2 years old devices :/

Android One is indeed dead.

There are no incentives for the manufacturers to make these devices, as customers don't care and don't want to pay premium for them, while the manufacturers can get money from adding crapware to their phones.

Nokia is still releasing new models (oh God, so many new models), and I think they're all on Android One. But indeed the Android One website not being updated with new ones is a bad sign.
Nokia branded phones are one of the best update experiences on Android.
