I agree it is pretty poor that updates aren't supported for longer, considering the price of the phones, no excuse for it really.
It is fair to say though that such is the fast pace movemnt of smartphone tech that a 3yr old phone is a poor bit of kit compared to what else you can get even from cheap Chinese brands., most stuff release this year will likely blow away and 8 series, I know my S8 felt terrible in comparison to my families Xiaomi phones from subsequent years, in the end I went to the Note 10 and it performs how I felt the S8+ series should have performed from launch, I almosyt never bought another Samsung I was that unimpressed with the 8.
Had to use Samsung support the other day, my phone kept telling me moisture was in the port and I could not charge, quite a painless process, reported it, repair man came to my door next day and fixed it in my driveway which was nice
