> That said, I understand that there is a large issue with devices that drop support way too soon, even though the hardware is good. But the solution is not the weaken the security, but instead to force better standards for how hardware is maintained, and ensuring that there is a long lifetime where either the manufacture supports the device, or the device is completely unlocked and allowed for easy community sourced modifications and updates.

Yes, that would be nice.

Unfortunately, I have exactly ZERO control over this, and it won't happen for years or decades to come, if at all. And almost certainly not for existing devices.

What I DO have control over is supporting all those devices today, right now, with some MITM risk in certain scenarios.
