How is that a promise? It’s a contract that they entered with everyone buying a Chromebook. Seems to me that breaking that would be a beach of contract, and I’d say it’s probably false advertising if they continue to sell Chromebooks with “10 years of updates”

you are correct, if they sold them with a paper saying there will be 10 years of updates they are required to provide 10 years of updates. If not then they could be taken to court for either fraud or false advertising. Which they would likely not show up to cause that’s usually their go to.

Sounds like a massive class action suit waiting to happen.
Cost of doing business. Some MBA already did a cost-benefit analysis on this.
