it's a bit more complicated than that, and it's not factually true. Do you have a better suggestion ?

Have your even read the link ? they did update the phones, your comment is provably wrong. How is Pixel6 better when the track record is PIxel3 / 3 years ?

Hmm fairphone3 updated should be updated in 2022, it was updated late 2021 (claimed at least fairphone.com/en/2021/09/02/), that's already better than Pixel3 for all I know. Else fair enough, personally this made me switch to Apple unfortunately, less e-waste. Priorities..

An update on Fairphone 3 - Fairphone

As the saying goes “all good things must come to an end”. After a successful two-year run with the Fairphone 3, we are ending the sale of this phone. But just like what you’d expect from us, we will...

Fairphone hasn't ever provided security updates for more than around 2 years, and those security updates have always been late, inconsistent and often incomplete. Devices without security updates aren't safe to use. Even the older Qualcomm Pixels provided far longer real support.

Not going to discuss, but "Fairphone hasn't ever provided security updates for more than around 2 years" isn't true.

I'm talking about shipping the full monthly Android security updates (and updates to other non-SoC components) including the half of the updates that are not provided by AOSP. I'm not talking about shipping only the AOSP security updates once a device has end-of-life hardware.

Replying to

For which device have they provided full security updates increasing the actual patch level for even a typical 3 to 4 years? For which device have they even shipped the monthly updates reliably (even with 1 month delay, meaning 60 days to ship) before end-of-life of the SoC?
