Yeah; and batteries can be replaced when they start losing their charge. New batteries are pretty cheap.
I had an iPhone 6s that I used for about 5-6 years before upgrading and giving it to a friend to use. I replaced its battery at about the 4 year mark, and as far as I know it’s still going strong. I wanted to upgrade it earlier than that, and I could afford to - but why bother when my phone already did everything I needed it to do?
3 years of security updates is a joke. The hardware easily lasts over a decade if you want it to.
