What's actually expiring in these machines? They are built on known technologies like BIOS, ARM, Wi-Fi. In other computers and laptops, I can update the software for 8-10+ years before stuff gets screwy. I get that they can stop update

I don't think the US is that difficult for tech workers specifically. You do have to put up with a couple of things (H1-B instability) but it's not that different from the UK, where e.g. you have at will employment until you have
