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?

You can! Android is a Linux based operating system, which means it is easy to modify. The short version is you replace your Android with a modified Android. The new Android does not play by the rules: zero bloatware, very customizable, and you can update regardless of hardware.

Google the phrase “how to install custom ROM Android”. You don’t have to be a super hacker, there are plenty of tutorials and it is not an uncommon practice.
