We are, thats the problem.
When you can make a ridiculous profit on a flagship phone and sell it for $500-700 (say, a OnePlus, for a good example), but they sell it for $800-1400 (Samsung, Apple, et al), then what am I paying for? It's supposed to be for better support and a smoother experience when things go wrong.
You know who has historically stabbed me in the back the least? OnePlus. I'm not going to say it has been perfect, but for a phone I spent $550 on, they've screwed me far less times than other alternatives would have.
So, we are paying for the patches to be delivered on a meaningful schedule for more than 3 years. I seem to be getting it what I paid for, and you don't.
There is something massively wrong with this picture.
