Moreso, during those first initial 2 "supported years", you would be extremely lucky to get OS and security updates without an insane delay (unless you run a Pixel device or, maybe, a couple of others I am not aware of).
Just ask any current or former Galaxy device owner in the US regarding how long they have to wait for an update after Pixel devices have already received it. In my case (Galaxy S8+ a couple of years ago, purchased only a few months after the release), I had to wait about half a year for the OS update after it has already arrived on Pixel devices.
