It is not just Samsung other manufacturers are in the same boat. The Motorola G4 Plus for example was sold with the promise that it will get Oreo in a future update. It yet to see an OS update 9 months after release. In a few months, Google will release the next version of Android. At this point it looks Lenovo/Motorola has played a bait and switch.
While desktop OS support multiple 10-year old hardwares it a pity that Google has not been able to come up with a update mechanism which can support phone older than 2 years. Whatever updates Google provides is limited to a few devices, My 4-year old Android non-Google phone is still very capable and meets my needs but the fact that it has no security updates scares me.

If you look at the standard compliance of the browsers in the Windows '98 era, IE had better CSS support and a much compliance support for w3c recommendations than the offering that Netscape had.
On top of that I loved Netscape 3, but Netscape 4 was a bloated piece of crap.
