Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:

Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.

The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.

There's speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

... And? Does a system have to be adjusted to the lowest denominator?

If you use a thing, of which you have zero clues about, and still fuck around with it, you get what you ask for. People don't understand the slightest thing about the internet and still use it to go to "free" streaming-sites and whatnot.

I don't say rooting-per-default. But an easy option to do so. And also unlocking the bootloader. It's ok if it's hidden. And let it come with 5 security questions á la "u rly sure?". If someone doesn't know what he's doing, and still does it, and screws up, so be it. Charge the dumbnut in support.
