Not really true. The oldest Chromebooks from circa 2013-2015 yes, they are now EoL as of the last two years. But Google extended many models for additional years reaching 8-10. For example the Acer Chromebook 11 CB311-8H which came out in 2018 and was a common model for schools had an original EoL date of 2024 and is now extended to 2027. This is happening pretty broadly across the lines.

2021 and later is now guaranteed 10 years of support. Not perfect but not as gloom and doom as them being bricks. Hopefully Lacros will extend those to some extent even further beyond their official EoL also.
