I'm carrying 2 phones these days, one iPhone SE that I've had for a couple years and look forward to getting OS updates on for another 3+ (unless I decide I just must have 5G and upgrade) and now a Samsung A53 5G that they've also promised will get at least 4 generations of OS upgrades. Without the newer trend towards longer support for devices, I'd probably have looked at a second iPhone instead. Google (and handset vendors) started to make relying on an Android phone for more than a couple years just as unattractive as depending on a Google service for more than a few years. Combine that with the long-ago demise of "don't be evil" and the more recent utter failure of "fine, be evil, but at least don't be f*cking creepy" Google's a hard sell these days. The way all the rest of us get caught in the fallout of their internal (product) politics got old a long time ago.
