I think it's a combination of factors:
- Long term trend of services moving from native desktop to more web apps which incidentally improves Linux support
- Valve pushing Linux Gaming to new heights
- Flatpak reaches critical mass and shipping on multiple distros by default
- Unpopularity of the latest Windows development trends
- Average PC user becoming more technically inclined -- "normal" people more likely to skip the PC and go mobile-only

For Wear OS, Google does not distinguish between “Guaranteed Android version updates” and “Guaranteed security updates.” It’s just “Guaranteed software updates” that include “Google Pixel Watch security updates, and may include feature drops and other software updates.”
I wouldn't mind only three major upgrades as long as the device stays maintained. It's the lack of clarity that is concerning in this quote.
Nooo that older modem gave me so many issues with my carrier. It just would not stay connected to the network.

Totally bonkers that my local power company produces energy from 90% natural gas.
The only correct answer. Pay for that availability if needed around the clock.
