That what you would think. I started using again an old ~12 year old Asus Android tablet. Impossible to browse the web, as it doesn't support newer TLS versions, newer CA. Impossible to install more recent software on that old Android version. Play store don't even work anymore (probably for the TLS reason). Then I wanted to install a recent Linux, and even after working around all the above and have the Asus bootloader unlock app installed, with mitm proxy to simulate old TLS, I realized that the Asus service to unlock bootloader doesn't exist anymore... Software rot so much faster than hardware sadly :( (the good news is that old software is also full of vuln, so I was able to install my Linux - postmarketos - anyway without unlocking the bootloader, and to my surprise, everything works perfectly out of the box)
