I have a MacBook Pro 2017 model. They stopped supporting new updated. Which still can handle. I don't know how many people will stop using this product and buying new one for this decision.

That’s only partially true. It won’t get major OS updates, but it runs Ventura which will continue to receive security updates. Apple seems to be on a 3 year support cycle for major OS releases, so the 2017 machine will probably be supported through Q3 2025.

8 years of software support seems reasonable.? Or you can switch it over to Linux or Windows.
