The devices still work. They display book pages, that’s all they need to do. There’s zero reason to upgrade just because something is shinier. That’s literally just consuming for consumption’s sake.
Except it hasn’t, and they are still functional. If anything they could have disabled WiFi to remove an exploit vector if they were out of support but retained the USB functions, but they promise to brick them on factory reset instead.
It’s not that bizarre. Is the understanding that devices change, technology advances, storage grows, etc.
