I have an iPad from 2012 which would still be perfectly usable if Apple hadn’t marked this iPad Generation as “obsolete”, and of course it would be a security risk to use it without updates. However, if I could install Linux on it, there would no need to throw it away.
You can’t really expect someone to maintain old products forever though.
The argument wasn’t that Apple should maintain it forever though. but that they should stop blocking the device’s owner from maintaining it themselves.
