This is a really reasonable counter point, but maybe we need to live in a world where that becomes a problem for some third party (or if right-to-repair really takes off). You buy a device, the manufacturer finds out there are flaws -- if it's under their promised timeframe (there's an incentive for them to offer ) they offer you updates. If you're outside of their time frame, you hope for a third party or you determine if you must upgrade. As the number of devices outside support range grows a market is made. This isn't a new problem -- software can copy off of the robust recipe that automobiles have left, hopefully making fewer mistakes this time and letting a little less corruption in.
