Maybe if you're talking Java versions, but not in the desktop OS space. (Look at so many old machines running Windows 7 or earlier right now, and look at long old OSes are officially supported, and how long they're still used afterward.) And besides, even if it was, this wouldn't mean anything. Look at the whole Default Browser fiasco that happened in the last few months. Microsoft went back to engaging in practices they had already settled with the Justice Department two decades ago.
Also look at how they finally made Windows 11 64-bit-only. And even now it still runs 32-bit programs, just the OS is 64-bit. It took two decades after 64-bit CPUs came out to get to this point.
They take their time and meander, and it takes a while. Possibly due to corporate sluggishness, possibly due to wanting to boil the frog slowly, possibly due to wanting to test the waters for a while... who knows why. But speed isn't the main criterion.

But in this case it's not really boiling the frog because it's not really getting worse? All we know so far is that it's TPM but it's easier to update. I suppose this could be used to oppress users by patching jailbreaks faster, but the security benefits at least makes it plausible that they're not doing it as some sort of plan to oppress users.
