Again, your '3rd yr update' is already disproven by the fact that my brother's old S3 is my mom's primary phone, and an 8 year old Tab P6200 is her primary tablet. They should be dead by now if all devices have a 3 year lifespan thanks to updates.One reason why I dislike Samsung phones: bloatware. Package disabler pro helps a little, but IDK... Samsung is FORCING the updates by annoying reminders to update your OS, until that 3rd year with the final Doomsday update. Have control of YOUR phone, then has control of the market.
If your Note 8 suffers from the same fate 3 years from now, I will laugh because no one believed it. Most likely people here are phone enthusiasts and will upgrade by then.
No package disabler pro as well and I get updates as soon as I receive them. The only difference I can see between your anecdotal cases and me is that I am not in the Americas, hence updates are not tampered by carriers. I still can't believe carriers in the US tamper with the OS just to block tethering and the mobile data toggle.
