how is this different from other platforms? if your hardware is too old, even windows doesn't support it anymore. same with macOS.

Windows and especially Linux support old hardware virtually forever.

not true with windows, there are old PCs have hardware that rely on 32-bit drivers which no longer run with the latest windows, and if you stick on older versions of windows you no longer receive the "virtually forever" update support.

My Samsung tablet is worst. Only 6 years old and can't be upgraded past Android 5.1.1.

chromebooks don't run android, they run chromeos, and like android, it doesn't mean they will stop running, it just means that the device will not receive automatic updates.
