    The problem is all the existing IoT devices etc that haven’t pre-planned for this. It’s a safe bet a lot of consumer devices with embedded systems haven’t planned for this and likely don’t have user friendly upgrade paths.

      I used to work at a major iot company. While, yeah, some devices will probably be left behind, most would’ve had this covered from the outset. The ones left behind were never intended to make it that long anyhow.
