    Other stuff still works too, they just don’t get official updates

    Still works, but is no longer secure and might not run your apps anymore.

    If the phones can be flashed with a new ROM

    Most can’t because the bootloader is locked. If they can, then you are relying on the community, and then it might not be secure. You are again relying on the communities to vet the software.

    Then there is grandma, shes gonna have to know how to unlock the bootloader, vet and flash ROMs

    Happy to hear the EU will be forcing 5 years of support. Im interested to see how that works out.
