Something is wrong with an industry that won't support their hardware. If the owners of these phones get replacements, that will be a significant impact on their budgets and a billion phones going to landfill. How long should they provide security patches? I don't know, but 7 years isn't enough.
Despite the feature's relative autonomy, Google says users are responsible for everything the AI does on their behalf.

In April 2025, Comcast President Mike Cavanagh bemoaned that the company's cable broadband division was "not winning in the marketplace” amid increased competition from fiber and fixed wireless Internet service providers.
Cavanagh identified some problems that had been obvious to Comcast customers for many years: Its prices aren’t transparent enough and rise too frequently, and dealing with the company is too difficult.

However, for those who need drive encryption, Microsoft in making it difficult to keep control of your keys out of their hands.
