I would say the same about cars, washing machines or anything else. If a manufacturer rolls out an update that breaks something to the degree Google has done, they should be forced to replace it with a like for like or newest equivalent model.
The issue here is that there isn’t one. If someone rolled out an update to a dishwasher that broke it and they offered to replace it with something that is not the same size, you would be pretty unhappy with how it fits in your kitchen. If they replace my phone, it will be far too large for me. I accepted the battery swap for this reason. I’m hoping small phones will make a comeback, but I’m skeptical.
