In my opinion it's not that they were equating 3rd party support to 1st, it's just impressive that we even have 3rd party support that is actually useful.
Should it be the phone manufacturer does this? Yes. But personally I prefer to use community ran (and FOSS) solutions.
You are totally right that it is mightily impressive that basically some randos on the internet are able to better support old phones than manufacturers are willing to do.
