it's about Amazon not having disclosed this artificial end of life at the time of the purchase

Critically, the case claims that Amazon did not disclose to consumers at the time of purchase that the devices’ core functionality—that is, continued access to digital content on the Kindle Store—and users’ ability to update software could be reduced or eliminated for any reason at any time without a full refund of the purchase price.

Did windows? Does any other electronic device?

This is how electronics work, as newer programs and updates use more resources, older devices can’t keep up. So what, just not bring in new features so older devices can continue to work? Hold everything else up?

Why is Amazon being held to arbitrary and different standards? It’s common knowledge that’s how stuff operates since the 90s….

Did windows?

Actually yes, you can see how long MS plans to support any of their releases
