Depending on where you are the rules can differ. Locally, once a device is discontinued, the end of sales date kicks in. Once the base warranty period has been exceeded (i.e. end of sales date plus 1 year), trying to register your device for warranty purposes may not work though most manufacturers allow a grace period of 6 months to 1 year after the end of sales before no longer accepting registrations for warranty purposes.
A purchase made from Blue Proton should have the usual warranty terms but Ghu alone knows how purchasing a discontinued item that is at least 2.5 years old is going to be treated for warranty purposes.
Much of this is based on the experience of one friend of mine who purchased a 55" Sony TV from a local retailer a couple of years back. The TV had been discontinued by Sony about 3 years before (2018/9? model in early 2022) and was put on sale along with a bunch of other found in warehouse devices. The price was great but when he tried to register on Sony's site, he was informed his TV was not eligible for warranty coverage. OTOH, he was still able to download the latest firmware update and install it.
