It's impressive that some people keep a phone in good condition for that long and actively use it still. Even if the phone launched with android 7, I'd hope it at least would get an Android 8 update. Meaning a lot of phones meeting this criteria are even older.
Otoh, the fact that security update support only lasts a couple years is pretty sad. Honestly didn't realize how long it's been since my phone got a security update (currently android 11, originally launched with 10). Been meaning to swap to lineage or e/OS, but never got around to it, so thanks for the reminder.
