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?

The hardware is not good enough. It’s easy to forget that a phone that runs well when the entire internet is filled with 0.3 megapixel pictures simply can’t load 4k or 8k UHD video. Every year, media is becoming higher quality on the internet, and a phone from 5 years ago will have trouble keeping up with the latest higher quality instagram photos and videos. There is nothing wrong with the original hardware, but people are not willing to give up a higher quality internet.
