Android 9 released on 6th August 2018. Which is 7yrs old. It sucks but that’s how it goes with software. Current breed of smartphones receive anywhere from 4-7yrs of OS updates.
So, unless you use very outdated hardware you should be fine. My own Redmi 7a which received 1 OS update from 2019 is running android 10 which is just above the OS threshold for chrome.
only one of those is available in my country, and i would have to put up with the buggy mess that is budget samsungs. appreciate the suggestions though.

i wish 😞
only some of the expensive ones seem to do this. i’m lucky my redmi runs lineageos well.
Galaxy A16 is a budget phone which will get 6yrs of updates. Nothing phone 3a, CMF phone 2 pro both will get 3+6yrs of OS and security updates.
There are options if you check well.
