I'm disappointed that we can't come up with a way for encryption to work forever.
Like, if I find a knife from 150 years ago, it still cuts cheese. Sure - it isn't the most modern tech, but it still does the job it was made for. Even though cheese recipes have changed, they are still compatible with an old knife.
Yet a phone in 150 years will be 100% useless. Not only useless because other things have moved on, or because the hardware has degraded, but useless by design because root certificates expire.
We shouldn't be putting anything into consumer electronics with an expiry date.
