Suck for what? There’s plenty of use cases for old devices. It’s not for you (or a corporation) to decide what’s good for me.

True, but neither is it up to him (or a corporation) to continue issuing free software updates from now until the heat death of the Universe.

Jailbreak it and use it as you will.

(disclaimer: haven't actually tried this specific one... a web search turns up many sites that claim to show you how to do this).

Yes, and this is exactly the reason why root access should be possible for every device, without jailbreak.
