Wasteful choice enabled by not being entirely responsible for pollution, energy consumption and trash. If they had to pay for environmental full restoration, energy at full cost and careful disposal of unsuitable hardware decision would have been different.
IMHO once devices are EOL'd the company should be legally required to release the source code for them.
I like this. But i also assume parts of the stack are going to be reused in newer models as well, so this is probably going to be a blocker for them accepting it.
If it's reused without much changes, why not make it available for older hardware?
If it changed enough it won't matter.
