The Android AOSP 11 operating system powers the device, and it is capable of over-the-air (OTA) updates to ensure the media hub remains up to date.

Capable = it will never get any OS update

Can they say "remain" up to date, when they ship a device with an operating system released 4 years ago?

No no, it's CAPABLE of OTA updates to remain up to date. they never promised it would ship up to date
