I bet smartphones could last 3 or 4 years even if companies let them 😏

I'm still using my OnePlus 8t. Phones lifespans are fine. If you can't keep your phone working for 4 years, that's on you.

I see no reason to upgrade until support is dropped.

My Samsung a70 doesn't get major software updates anymore. I'm OK with it. I'll use this as long as possible.

For security reasons, don't do that. Don't use things older than the supported android version. It's fucking Linux. It gets vulnerabilities.
