Hardly retailers’ fault, but some of the better ones (Amazon?) may take a pragmatic view of the situation and offer refunds.
This is where the really good retailers have the opportunity to show how good they are.
I'd be surprised if anyone offers a refund, at best it'd be a discount on a new phone from another supplier.
And to be fair, why would they? Even if you can't get Android R for instance the phone would still work.
Can't say I'm bothered. Phone still works, and I generally change phone every three years anyway. Whichever brand I buy, they generally "stop releasing" android version updates for my phone after 2-3 years, so this is no different.

Why should they?
Any phone out there now is going to carry on working just like it does today, they even expect the current phones to be eligible for Android Q.
It’s buying a Huawei Mate 30 later this year or a P40 next year that is more of an issue (mainly for Huawei).
I wont pay extra for a stupid brand. Google and it's apps is spying on us for years, all apps from G store ask for any permision regards to it's intend, 'merica is spying on it's allies for years, social media platforms is spying and using personal data of it's customers for years and now those who spread democracy in the world are scared of chinese who might use their equipment to spy on them.
Where does this development leave someone like me in this position?
