And as I replied to another comment, that is only one example among many.

> made OS updates a requirement of the Android licence contract
Now you're being contradictory. You want to force manufacturers to always update to the new Android versions. But you ALSO want to make Android 7 require specific hardware features. How could these requirements work together?
The first part of your solution conflicts with the second. You cannot both require new hardware for an OS version and require OS updates for old hardware.
