Why would Apple ever be "truly committed" to something which gives them less money? They have no reason to encourage people to use old technology.

They have by far the longest support historically compared to the rest of the ecosystem. It’s not even close. A while ago my parents bought an android device that SHIPPED one version behind and was never updated. Totally pathetic. I’ve seen fixes for surprisingly old iOS devices and even new features often go back some generations.

Because they claim to be!
