They’re talking about security updates. Your definition of support seems to be “latest bells and whistles with a major release.”
Your 2015 MBP was eligible for a Safari security update released last month and a macOS security update the month before[0].
This means your 2015 MBP receives similar support as the iPhone they mentioned.
We can argue if seven years of the “latest and greatest” is sufficient for a laptop before it is relegated to just security updates, but I don’t understand the lament.
It’s a capable machine, as you said, and it still ran great. If the manufacturer gives you all that was advertised at purchase and then some and then ensures it’s safe to use while not receiving new bells and whistles, how is that a demerit that causes frustration on your end?
