Right, and what choices exactly do consumers have?
Who has published definitive support and update timelines for their phone.
And what level of warranty does Cynogenmod provide again? Do they have a security team patching security flaws?
The consumer has no choice in the matter, period, and neither the software nor hardware vendors seem to really care.

Apple is very user-friendly when it comes to firmware upgrades, even for old devices.

Well, it's better than the situation with android phones, where they don't even get firmware upgrades that existed well before the phone was released...
