If you read again, the claim is that after a failed Windows 10 update that device ran another 7 years on Ubuntu. As Windows 10 was launched less than 7 years ago, that is a lie.

With a sufficiently generous interpretation it might have been a preview build. But then he wouldn't be entitled to complain, because of course a preview might break.

More probably you are right.

I don’t have an exact timeframe in my head and wrote things on the fly. The point is that Ubuntu is going perfectly fine and will continue to do so whereas windows bricked the system. I also think it’s common practice with year estimation to round up to the next year.
