Such regulation would inevitably introduce exceptions for products with limited-time use (because it doesn't make sense to support everything forever), manufacturers would explicitly mark all products as such, and consumers wouldn't even find it wrong.

New incentives to would hit market reality where most people want cheap devices, not lifetime support for something they themselves consider practically disposable.

If most consumers don't care, regulation won't help. Much like climate change.
