Do agree on this. A law about supporting, at the very least, just security updates for your product in a 7 or 8 year life span is a must IMO as well. 10 would be ideal, but even an 8 year life span is not bad.

I wonder if in future we will have the same issue with cars and other items now dependant on internal computers.

Probably, since most of them are smart now.
