But the previous generations will never see a current OS release.

Amazon and Kobo and Apple and Google make money selling content. Readers and phones and tablets are the packaging used to deliver that content. Keeping them up to date keeps existing customers buying more product.

Onyx, Fiio and other hardware manufacturers across the board make money selling hardware. They don't have content stores, and keeping old products up to date generates no revenue so they largely don't bother once a model goes out of production. If you're okay with this then you do you, but be aware that buying these products is a short term dead end.
