I can't help but think that if Apple were to do something like this that it would sell like wildfire.

I held on to Windows Phone for a long time. That platform suffered a slow death by abandonment. I can still use that phone, it's just that I can't use half the apps on it anymore.
The demise of Lumia was Microsoft pulling the plug on the OS.
From the Wikipedia article I linked:

Windows Phone has been a very stable platform with stunning UX. The only real problem it had was the developer marketshare.
As much as I loved the UX and rooted for the platform, the apps were just bad. Even first-party apps were depressingly crashy.
This was circa Windows Phone 8; maybe it improved with subsequent releases.
