Thanks for your comment. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. From my own (purely anecdotal) experience, if most people had been told that their phone would be unsupported after 3 years they would have considered that strongly in their purchase. Since my experience is anecdotal it proves nothing, but my major disagreement is that you point to sales numbers as evidence that people don't care about support.
>feature that obvious(based on sells numbers) was not a factor in deciding to buy the phone or not,
I don't think those customers were informed of the limited support prior to the sale, so those sales numbers are not meaningful in this context. Also, many companies offer longer support. Google is selling Pixel as a premium phone so (in my opinion) offering only 3 years of support is a major abuse of the customer relationship.
As far as pennies per phone, I was referring to this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30075970 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30075970
