Why can’t Android phones just upgrade to the next Android version and let the user decide if the version is too slow for their phone and revert to the previous version as there are many phones with good hardware that could still run Android 10 but stuck now at 8 or 9?

Because Android phone manufactures make money only when they sell you a physical unit – they make no money off software.

If they keep alowing for updates then people would stick longer with their older hardware and sales would be bad.

Only reason apple is making ios updates for older devices is because they make a lot money on the app store.
