And with the named examples are you gonna get any support and updates if you decide to hold off an upgrade to a newer OS? I doubt. I can certainly hold off upgrade to Android 9 on my phone, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna get any further updates for Android 8 from the phone vendor. There is a huuuge difference between "not forcing upgrades" and "providing supported and secure way to stay on the current release".
