The thing is, you can take iPhone 5 as an example. It came to the market a bit earlier than the first gen WP8 devices (late 2012). It came with iOS6 and all the way to present day (2016) it was covered by the newest version of OS. It also received big updates every year with small patches during each year, new feature and fine-tuning are throwing into these devices(Airdrop in iOS7, widget in iOS8, always listening siri under power plugged-in in iOS9). The UX are slowly but surely improved. The stable API provide stable APP support even you stay in a rather old OS version.
The evolution in WP8 in rather slow, most of the things are function patching and hotfix. Then switching to UWP are killing the already small app ecosystem. Not to mention they are not delivering what they promised, most of us asking for update support are just don't want to be cut loose like wp7.5 days, for me if MSFT release a patch for WP8.1 adapting UWP I'll happily take it and use my phone till I want to change it.
That's the point I cared of.
Look at Apple. Their users buy new stuff all the time. Their sales always surpass previous sales because the user base is willing to move with technology and use their money to do it.
