That is literally false information.

No, its not. It was not extended to existing hardware that is still functioning. Product support should last as long as the product is functional.

Stop astroturfing. Manufacturers need constant sales of their products, so they go out of the way to make sure longevity doesn't happen, and ewaste is the results.

Talk to me when right to repair is a real thing everywhere legally, and is supported by the manufacturers.
