The same is true of
every computer sold at the time, though. You make it sound like they are in some kind of unique position here. It's not like I'm complaining that I can't upgrade a computer that came with XP to Windows 10. I don't think it's unreasonable for a consumer to expect that a brand new laptop should be able to upgrade to the next version of Windows, which was being tested less than a year later, without needing explicit promises from the manufacturer.

That being said, I can totally see getting behind a vendor who does make the effort to keep up development for older hardware on new OSes.

Definitely.
