This may have some overlap/coordination with the CPSC and FTC laws regarding truth in advertising. An ideal world would be that products marketed towards consumers would have labeling on the box, up front, of an supported until date. With a government definition of what that "support" means. Something like Google's Chromebook's Auto Update Policy (except properly displayed/communicated on the box/device) would be a good start. Nothing preventing the manufacturing from extending that date later, but it puts a line in the sand for the consumer to make a choice up front.
