I used my Oneplus 6 for about that long and moved to lineagos after updates stopped before retiring last year. Phones are getting more powerful while the app demands aren’t really increasing, so I think 7 years isn’t that outlandish now days.
There’s people who only use basic social media apps and do phone stuff, so phones don’t go obsolete fast for them unless they are chasing the newest camera improvements.

I wasn’t suggesting otherwise. I suggested that there would likely be a myriad of hardware issues before then. Broken screens, dead batteries, SoC failures, etc etc

which would be fixed by being easier to repair. switchable batteries, screws instead of glue…
