Did you read the link Andrew/Arlen/whatever shared? Did you draw the same
conclusion as him?

What he says and what he can show/prove are often very different things.

Look here:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222

You can see that two or three have been updated at the same three times
this year alone: 22nd Jan, 5th Mar, 22nd Mar. Since the release of iOS 17,
iOS 16 has received eight updates and iOS 15 has received three. 

That's clear evidence to show that Apple are still maintaining (aka
supporting) the current and previous two versions of iOS.
