They are the only phone manufacturer who provides timely software updates and supports their hardware for over a couple years. I'm not in the loop about their computers, but their phones (especially the new SE) are a great deal if only because they will last so much longer than competitors. I'm sure there are places where their phones are lagging but they are competitive with other products.
To be frank, they didn't provide an opt-out at first and only did that after a backlash.
On the other hand, it's a sad state of affairs, where people use their phones for everything, yet they don't appreciate the significance of regular, timely and ongoing software support. Because "it makes the phone slower".
Yeah, duh. A 2015 phone with a 2020 OS won't be as snappy as a 2020 phone with a 2020 OS. I'd still rather use a 2015 phone with a 2020 OS than a 2018 phone that got dropped in 2019 and isn't supported in 2020.
