Should OS makers, like Microsoft, be legally required to provide 15 years of security updates?

These multi-billion dollar corporations have more than enough resources to provide updates for 15 years.

There's nothing insane about it, unless you've been conditioned to live vicariously through business owners.

    Pretty sure postmarketOS isn't made by a multi-billion dollar corporation. Such a requirement would mean ONLY multi-billion dollar corporations can release an operating system. You do not want to give them that power.
