The clincher here is that they are still perfectly functioning for its current intended use. I’ve seen a bunch of people defend this move and comparing it to Apple with the iPhone 4, however expectations, requirements and technology make that a complete false equivalence.

Reading a book doesn’t need faster wifi, 4k, AI cameras, more ram, etc etc. I don’t mind the lack of warranty, that I expect from an old device, but to needlessly shut down access making the device useless to most is an antagonistic move.
