They really have been making some steep cuts these past three macOS updates. Did I see the 2014 mac mini coming? sure! Not the 2016 MBP though.

RIP 2015 MBP, arguably the last great Intel Mac.
Even the 2016 is getting the boot, Apple is phasing out these Intel macs fast.

It looks like they are taking a fast-track to obsolete Intel Macs. I think we can make some assumptions about how long Intel Macs will be supported from this. I wouldn't be surprised now if no Intel Macs are upgradable to the MacOS 14. Certainly no Intel Mac will get MacOS 15.
The thing is, people paid a lot of money for these machines. And they are completely free to feel ripped of. This will make the company look bad on customers' eyes and is not great for their claimed environment objectives. They will loose customer trust. Those who bought a 2016 MBP with Skylake only received 5 years of full updates and will only receive 7 of security updates.
