Don't they have pretty much the best track record of any manufacturer in the last decade?

No. They publish a list of products that are no longer supported but you have to dig it out, they are shady about it.

Microsoft is known for supporting ancient hardware. Not Apple.

I'm not sure I understand - it's been here for years: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102772
Support for security updates appears to be years longer than Microsoft.

Are we talking about different things? I meant os/security updates. I think you mean hardware?

You posted lists of hardware, saying Apple hid that list. I showed you they do not.
I added on that they ship security updates much longer than Microsoft (well, for consumer). I've worked on the tech side for both companies - I'm painfully aware of the work both do to keep old OSs running.
