Except in Amazon's case, upgrades WERE issued relatively recently so older devices could continue working on Amazon's website. That's continued support, not EOL. EOL has NOTHING to do with what specific version of firmware is on a particular device.Personally I was surprised when my older Kindles got those updates.And who knows, they may get updates again if Amazon upgrades their security certificates again.
EDIT: That "fairly recent" firmware upgrade happened over four years ago (March 22, 2016 was the original deadline, but if I remember correctly, they fudged on that deadline by a couple months). Amazing how fast time flies.
