It really weird that given everything these days needs to be a subscription, why isn't someone building a relatively cheap phone, with a yearly subscription to keep software update coming.

Other than a smallish group if tech enthusiasts and people who consider phones fashion, I argue that most are perfectly happy with their 2020 iPhone or 2018 Android phone. They are clearly not replacing them as fast as the industry expects, so may a small fee for updates, so you avoid having to replace the phone would be acceptable.
