2030 is only 7 years away, I have a One Plus 5t that still has all the functions available now, and its only the charging port and a the battery life thats starting to fail after ~6 years? Won't the pixel 8 be getting 8 years of updates also?
Phone development seems to have slowed down significantly, from my view anyway
When my last phone died I relied on my old Nexus 5 (lineage os) and it was fine for a week. Sure I had to keep it on a charger 3-4 times a day but it would have been ok to use if I had replaced the battery.
I think the good thing about phone development is stuff gets cheaper, so now you can get flagship features for the price of a midrange nowadays
