Yes they do offer security updates for what, 7 years? That I consider “kind of ok.” Not great. And yes most Android phones are even worse than that. But OS and application updates? You’re dead to them after 4 or 5 years. AND the whole ecosystem follows suit, so if your Mac is like 6 years old, almost nobody is writing software that works on your system anymore.

My 2017 macbook air still gets security updates. And I play lots of games through steam.

My 2020 XR still gets updates and runs every app I need- uber, school stuff, office stuff.
