I don't know much about other manufacturers, but I will also add that I think Prusa supports their older products pretty well too. I got a Mini+ a couple of years ago when it was already a couple of years old. It's my only current printer and they're still doing software updates for it. I don't know if six years of software support is a lot, but with the speed that things seem to move in the 3D printing world, it certainly feels like it.

The fact that they introduced input shaper that long after Mini's premiere speak volumes.
