npub1t7dmr2xue8zaxsxhy2xkdja0nx6f8cu8y8l7hfksw98y773djkgquzpqpp (npub1t7d…pqpp) Until it somehow starts costing governments money to deal with these discarded items, no legislators or private interests will care, so it won't get traction. But I am 100% on the same page as you. It is criminal how these companies blatantly force consumers to discard their perfectly functional hardware every 2-3 years as a business model. Case in point: I just had to replace a 5 year old Samsung tablet because my workplace updated our security requirements for work devices (it was a private device I chose to use for work and play), and the tablet had stopped getting security updates in 2020. Nothing wrong with the device except that it has been deemed "obsolete."
This wasteful, exploitive practice should be criminal.
