Is it still getting security patches? If not then it's not running perfectly fine.

No and I don't care, because even Google doesn't care about us.

2 years update + 1 security for mobiles that cost more than a computer is not something I am willing to pay a premium for.

Thanks, but I am against rooting devices, never saw the value in risking to brick my expensive devices.

It might be running perfectly fine for his use case, you never know. The benefits are almost always compared with the financial liability and they vary for each of us.
