In EU you have the right to use bundled software as long as you own the appliance. Not sure this is true for US.

How does that work? What if the company licenses technology from company A to build product B, but the license is only good for 2 years? What happens 2 years after you buy product B?

Also doesn't Apple, Google, & other remove features from people's smartphones after release all the time in the EU?

This is not legal to sell a finished product which has a license time bomb, I suppose.

Google and Apple can change the future set but they do not brick the device which was discussed and it works as advertised at the moment of purchase.
