I bought 1000 ESP32-S2 chips (not modules) for a project, it cost me a grand total of 1200 bucks as a nobody. During the height of the shortage from most western manufacturers too!
Consumer products routinely drop support after 3/5 years, Android phones being exhibit A, Sonos speakers are exhibit B, and Google in general being in the corner of shame.
While I applaud any efforts at product longevity, I am not getting the impression that it's a first-priority concern at present.
I was able to fix them by finding someone who sells a replacement remote on TaoBao and getting a shipping company to send it to me at 2x the price.
Point is - availability of parts does not guarantee manufacturer has any interest is supporting the product.
On the contrary, if manufacturer wants to fix something, they actually can, even if exact same parts aren't available.
Esp32 is available at every major Western distributor (digikey mouser etc) this hasn't been a real concern for many years
