I haven't noticed that as a user of Apple phones and laptops. The 4 year old iphone SE is working fine with the latest OS. I stopped using the 2013 macbook air because it was kind of falling apart a bit, not due to any weirdness from Apple. I'm not even sure what the "ecosystem upgrade treadmill" is.
I did have the issue of the screen of the SE being harder to replace than the 5 because it has a fingerprint scanner that can access your credit cards. I can understand Apple having security standards for that. The local repair shop still does it but it's £50 with an official part rather than £20 with some Chinese knock off.
