I agree with you that it would be foolish to believe that any company would support a cheap device perpetually but I think it should be common practice (or mandatory) to open the software so that people can extend the life of these devices. Generally speaking, as a species we cannot afford to waste electronic devices simply because the software is not up to date.
It is indeed from the writers, but not from John’s point of vue, I think he recognizes that the country is changing and is a bit hopeful. Well, we know what happened next! 😅
