    Beyond that, Motorola promises just two years of security updates through early 2028, at least in the UK. But in Europe, it seems that’s pushed out to five years per regulatory demands.

    Do they really actively block updates for people in the UK, while delivering them to people in Ireland? That would be wild.

      Its not that they block updates. They simply do not bother to release in other regions. Even though the development time and money used would be minimal at best.

      I would like to recommend Motorola. Unfortunately, I cannot. Samsung, oneplus and others will remain a good option.

        Ah, yes, the marginal cost of production concept. Put simply, to maximize profit, one must produce and sell product up to the moment the last widget produces exactly zero profit.

        So, extending that service voluntarily unnecessarily adds some cost, which in theory means some of their widgets produce negative profit. That is unacceptable to the shareholders.
