Android is the new Windows
... and the story somewhat repeats itself. Only this time it is not one company (was MS now is Google) to blame but multiple.
Google has to accept that their view of the world simply does not match the real world. It is not acceptable to redeem as unsupported anything that is older than two years just because you think that people keeps changing its phone as you release new ones. Carriers, however, are much, much worse. Because for them keeping the phone OS up to date is simply a costly activity which not only costs them money, it also actually discourages its customers to get a new phone.
To its credit, Android had security designed in. The only flaw was the assumption that it was not going to be exploited. Anything in these days will be compromised and exploited.
Now grab some popcorn and watch the high profile leaks and lawsuits fly...
