The Nvidia Jetson Nano. was announced as a development system in mid-March 2019. Only 4 years have passed. Not 8. I'm an end user,that's how I count. I may agree that,generally .
I've even requested that nvidia to better support upstream on tegra210 (nano) on this thread https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/efi-support-for-jetson-tx1-and-running...
Maybe if more interested nano end-users would come with this concern on their forum, it would make them change this behavior. I'm more into thinking that nvidia uses this lack of upstream support to force EOL on these devices... So that's a kind of vendor locking. But upstream concern on jetson forum isn't that common for some reason...
They have improved a LOT with their upstream work but they view the SoC that the nano is based upon as now basically EOL so it's more if the work also aligns with the newer SoCs they're focused on. The newer Jetpack releases use much newer kernels with a lot more things that are upstream but the 5.x and later releases only support Xavier/Orin.
