Well I bought my phone last year and there is already dwindling support for it (no OS updates, just extra HTC crap), not to mention that the same model is still on sale as new now.
Many people buy smartphones on a 18 month - 2 year contract and often will wait until the price has dropped a bit to buy it. So I think 3-4 year old phones should still be well supported if they want to gain people's trust.
I'm sorry but Apple does not care about the 3gs either. Use it and it is slow and miserable. And come summer, you'll have the same experience with the 4s.
My anectdata refutes you. I have a 3GS that is working just fine with the latest version of iOS. It's obviously not as fast as a 4 or 4s, but "slow and miserable?" Not even.

Google's trying to build the future.
They don't care about your ancient phone that was designed last decade. Get over it.

Of course they don't. Unfortunately people who bought it last decade do.

Sure...
