I think that's the mid-2012 MBP? They were still selling them in 2015, I bought one of the last ones before it was pulled from sale. It remained in the lineup because it continued to be a best-seller.

Apple was already grumpy about servicing it by 2018 or so though, even with AppleCare. (I've switched to Windows now.)

I think it could be tied to large contracts and ensured availability. I suspect there will be an x86-based Mac available well past the two year transition that was announced.
