Article refrains from drawing conclusions, instead presenting the data. Android is doing better at moving users to newer versions, but the overwhelming majority of users don’t have the current Android OS version nor the previous version, combined.

Google and flagship variants of Samsung are only ones offering 7 years of support. There is technically Fairphone but it’s not available in multiple countries. In my country, even the so called budget Pixel 8a currently retails beyond what most consumers would ever splurge on a device. There is only Samsung in the proper mid range segment that offers 4 years of OS upgrades. Chinese OEMs that often dominate the market won’t give you anything over two.

I wasn’t spoiled by Windows. I was spoiled by Android’s relative, Linux. :p

That’s cloud services. I’m well aware of those.
Check the Pixel support pages on the Wayback machine for the amount of updates they promised versus the amount of updates they delivered, they’ve never broken those. They did imply that they might publish more updates, but never promised more than they delivered.
In some cases, they promised two years after release, which was a year and a half when people in countries outside the US got their hands on them, but they were very clear upfront about how long the phones received support. Anyone who cares about software support on their Pixels can look up what support they’ll receive before purchasing the devices.
Ironically because they advertised google photos with the pixel and free backups, to this day, the OG pixels get free full quality backups
