It's far worse with iOS. Apple blocks older versions entirely.
Plenty of Android apps still install on Android 4.x
I was also able to install archive site APKs on an Android 2.x last year, there is no way to install iOS other than a supported iOS from the store. Though Apple things do get iOS upgrades for a while. Most Android phones and tablets don't, but mostly it doesn't matter.
My Lenovo Tablet is not even a year and a half old and is Android 8.x, same version as on the Boyue Likebook Mars I bought recently, which was originally selling with 6.x

Future proof is a bit of a myth. Generally you have to buy new hardware.
