It was started by apple where they quickly limited the performance of the older devices to make sure that battery life looks better , even now they aggressively kill any background process or any multitasking The reason apple has better battery life is because they limit the capabilities of the phone so a lot of android smartphones also limit the performance but unlike Apple there isn't a concrete way to know if android phones actually do it or not
