These multi-billion dollar corporations have more than enough resources to provide updates for 15 years.
There's nothing insane about it, unless you've been conditioned to live vicariously through business owners.
Pretty sure postmarketOS isn't made by a multi-billion dollar corporation. Such a requirement would mean ONLY multi-billion dollar corporations can release an operating system. You do not want to give them that power.
If it's free software, then anyone can implement the fixes themselves.
Doing so with proprietary software would be illegal.
