Maybe you should think through what you are saying. If someone is stuck on iOS 5, which phone would they be using? A phone that's 4 years old (i.e. pre Gingerbread era)? Apple has done a pretty good job of allowing phones/tablets to be updated, with the iPad 1 being a big exception.
What Google is doing is helping but the ideal solution would be to have people be able to upgrade their mobile devices for at least 3 years. As much as I dislike Microsoft, if they provide a better upgrade path, they could become a much bigger player by making upgrades trivial for the 99.9%.
