Well it is a technical problem: it can be solved by reverse engineering and re-implementing every driver. But yes, it's an economic problem because that's pretty expensive (but has been achieved before eg, nouveau driver) Google could easily use their monopolistic position to force all SoC vendors to provide greater software support. Heck, Google could even simply pay every SoC vendors to open source their drivers. It's unlikely to even cost that much. But today's Google is simply too incompetent to ever fix Android's security update problem. They've been making silly excuses for decades.
