Their most recent phone (made in 2022) uses an SoC introduced in 2016.
By any reasonable comparison it was an outdated phone when it was released. 2 years of age haven’t done it well. At some point, no matter how repairable/replaceable the other components are, the computer is just not powerful enough to be useful.

They are right that the hardware will be useful for a very long time. We have a lot of examples how people use very old laptops for their tasks.
