Comment on How did Android's update support become so inconsistent?

Yes, but the question only spoke about Windows and Android so I tried not to dive too deep into other things… I assumed the community is for simple and to the point answers…

But your answer could be interpreted as "a FOSS OS can never maintained for a big variety of hardware over a long life cycle" which would be totally wrong. Android's driver situation might be shit but that has nothing to do with an "open system" vs a "closed system". My knowledge regarding this topic is not deep enough to give a perfect answer but I think other posts here sound more plausible.

  I don’t wanna sound too defensive but I did say this
  
  That takes considerable effort, although if they chose to focus on a select few devices every year, they’d be able to do so.
  
  I agree that I can reword it to make that clear, but I don’t think, nor do I hope anyone will make that conclusion about FOSS…
