This just underscores the fact (IMHO) we need a "cash for clunkers" program for obsolete and unsupported devices. I mean I'd love to see more moonshot programs like DARPA's Tractor but in the meantime why not create incentives to get insecure equipment off the net?
A lot of the time the EOL hardware is exactly the same as the supported hardware. The software just needs to be supported for longer. For example the 2014 and 2015 mac book pro, same CPU, same motherboard, etc and yet the 2014 is EOL a year earlier.
