Yes, that would be better. I have a drawer full of old iPhone and Mac devices that are practically blobs of ewaste because their OS doesn't update.
It would be nice.
Though, as a life-long Android user, I've been jealously looking at how long apple have actually been supporting their iPhones (at least since the iPhone 6) and I'm seriously considering switching.
The 6S, 7, 8 all got feature updates for 7 years, and are still getting security updates after 9 years. The iPhone XS is still getting feature updates after 6 years. On Android, you are lucky to get 3 years of feature updates and 5 years of security updates.
Google do seem to be improving here, with 7 years of support for Pixel 8 and 9, and 5 years for Pixel 6 and 7. Earlier models got 3 years which was barely acceptable.
