OS updates go both ways. Sometimes companies stop supporting a product and don't update the app for the new OS. Sometimes the app developer stops supporting old versions of an OS.
However, that isn't my primary concern with updates. I'm much more interested in security updates. I don't want to wake up one day with my bank accounts drained because I'm continued to use an old phone without updated security patches. Security updates are the equivalent of anti-virus software on a computer.
My primary issue with Google is that they support chromebooks for 7 years but phones for only 3.
