Unfortunately phone itself is not impressive especially from OS update standpoint (only 2 year support for major Android versions).

Companies with a smaller market share tend to do that (with Fairphone being the exception).

Why spend resources to support devices for 5 years (or more) if you can keep selling newer phones and redirect your devs to work on the new phone. Its just capitalism 🤷‍♂️
