Compare this to Apple, e.g. an iPad from 2013:
* ships iOS 7,
* runs new major iOS 12 from 2018,
* support updates to 2023.
a MacBook or iMac from 2010:
* runs new major macOS release from 2016,
* with support updates to 2019.
That's 5 new major releases you'll see, and 10 years of long-term support, e.g. a new TLS root cert for Let's Encrypt.
