I'm more in favor of expiration dates with legally-defined minimums. Why? For many of these devices, the developers and teams have long since moved on. If the code was good, it might be possible for an outsider to figure out how to update it. BUT, if the code was poorly-written, it might take a prohibitively long time for an outsider to figure out how to update it. Requiring infinite updates forever just isn't practical. No one will remember how to maintain software forever. But, a clearly communicated (and legally-enforced) expiration date where a company has an obligation to provide updates is practical.
