existing software support*

Any hardware issues (mind you, the failure rate is pretty high, especially keyboards), and you're left with a broken device.

Right, I don't understand who buys into the Google/Pixel ecosystem now knowing it will be unsupported in a few years.

I held on for a long time, and still have a lot of lock-in to unwind. Switching costs are pretty high, even for individuals.

I won't be putting all my chips on Apple either. I have a mix of file storage options, password managers, Linux laptops, 'hub' devices, and so on.

What's unsupported about it? I picked this up on a fire sale and it still gets updates.

Nothing. It's supported for at least another 3 years. ~2026

I'm charging it up and we'll see. It was fairly quiet for a while.

I have a specific use in mind, leveraging on-device speech recognition. Ideally I'll be able to achieve parity with the iPad.

Were you already in the Apple ecosystem?
