Why older phones with good enough hardware can’t be updated to latest Android?

We have reached a point in which huge steps in hardware improvements is not a thing, hence my question. Or maybe they can but companies want us to pay money to get the latest OS and new features?

Planned obsolescence is baked into almost all enterprise hardware and software design, on purpose. It is a core principle when designing consumer devices, specifically to make you spend $$ you don’t need to.

It’s almost never lack of computing power, it’s almost never lack of storage, it’s NEVER “security” (this is the single biggest joke of an excuse all the manufacturers trot out because it sounds scary). they want to sell you a new device you may not need, and if you won’t do it, they will force you to do it.
