not necessarily! If the 0day is bad enough the vendor may patch it or release further guidance - most recent case is Ivanti this week (https://cyberscoop.com/ivanti-vulnerability-cisa-kev/)

    likely used by vendor as sales strategy to upgrade device:

    we will give you patch for this EOL 0day, but this will be the last one. Please buy new version and btw here is 20% discount code, you are welcome

      Still better than leaving devices unpatched. The end user still has the final word, can totally refuse to buy a new one if he/she doesn't think getting a new one is worth it.
