The relevant difference between cars and computers in this case is what, exactly? They are both high-tech, require a lot of resources to manufacture, and can remain useful over a long period of time.

They are dramatically different industries.
Let me reiterate, what computer manufacturer provides Apple’s level of support for more than 7 years?
Plenty, when you pay enterprise support contracts, but Apple doesn't do enterprise actually.

Please provide some examples, because the few programs I’ve found (enterprise-level and not cheap, example: Dell ProSupport Plus) all end at a max of 5 years after purchase date.
That would be breaking NDAs.

Google is out of the Chromebook hardware market, but they provides ChromeOS updates for 10 years on current machines.
Apple just has the decency to communicate what hardware it considers to be officially obsolete.
