That’s better than nothing, but still pretty half arsed. To see why, here’s the latest monthly Android Security Bulletin.
I count 43 of these fixes are for issues with the underlying AOSP platform, kernel and drivers. One of them is a Play Store codec update. Admittedly not all of those fixes are relevant to every device because some of them (about a dozen) are specific driver updates, but over 40 fixes in one randomly chosen monthly update isn’t trivial. This is what you lose when your device goes out of support.
