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?

After some length of time, the manufacturer of the device decided to stop building updated system images for that model of phone.

This sometimes can be caused by a chipset vendor also refusing to support older hardware, but also often can just be an issue that a manufacturer decides the device is beyond it’s design life and stops support after so many years.
