It is not Termux devs fault that many phone manufacturers fail to handle OS upgrades.

They are not obligated to support them, feel free to support all Android versions at once in your project.

Precisely. If you want long-term support, don't use Android in the first place.

Or at least buy phones where at least some support is promised.

If someone is stuck on Android 6 due to failure to deliver OS updates then it is still fault of whoever manufactured such device.

And a bit of failure to buy something where there are updates.
