A better analogy would be if you bought an Iphone when it first came out. A year later they make a new Iphone, but you don't like the way the new one is set up, so you keep your old one. Problem is new apps that come out are only downloadable from the new system, you can't download any apps because your OS isn't the one the app was made for. The apps you like no longer get support so they are bugged out so bad that you can no longer run the apps at all. The Iphone itself let's you surf the web, make calls and texts, but that's it. You write a letter to Apple about how you used to be able to play games and do a lot of cool things on your Iphone, but now that you didn't upgrade, you can only do the bare minimum of what you used to be. Now I understand that Iphones are supported for longer than a year, but eventually the phone you have will no longer be able to run apps anymore because they do quit supporting them after a while. After one year, some apps, not all, are only usable on the newest one. So the people complaining it has only been a year, think about the price difference. I would rather pay $40 a year then $600 (or whatever an Iphone costs these days) every few years. I like your analogy because its satirical, but it doesn't do the point justice.
