The problem with Android is that it doesn't work like Windows does - it's dependent on support from the manufacturer which means that even if your phone was capable of running a later version of Android, if the manufacturer hasn't upgraded their blobs, it wouldn't work anyway. Pity, as I agree with you otherwise (my G5 Plus is still stuck on 7, despite Motorola saying they would provide an upgrade to 8 over a year ago).
