Microsoft Suggests Windows 10 Mobile Users Switch To iOS or Android As Support Winds Down (macrumors.com)

Windows 10 Mobile devices will be officially unsupported starting on December 10, 2019. As a result, Microsoft is recommending users move to an Android or iOS device instead. Mac Rumors reports: Microsoft made the recommendation in a Windows 10 Mobile support document (via Thurrott) explaining its plans to stop offering security updates and patches for Windows 10 Mobile: "With the Windows 10 Mobile OS end of support, we recommend that customers move to a supported Android or iOS device. Microsoft's mission statement to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more, compels us to support our Mobile apps on those platforms and devices." All customers who have a Windows 10 Mobile device will be able to keep using it after December 10, 2019, but no further updates will be available.

And so did iPhones and many of the mid to high range Androids, and they had an actual app ecosystem.

Windows Phone was the best

I'm still using a Windows Phone, and I've bought a few backups for when the batteries wear out. I simply won't use a Google or Apple phone because i don't want all of my personal data harvested and sold to anybody with money. Once all of my Windows Phones are dead, i will probably use a flip phone. I already carry around a laptop most of the time, so i can just that for email. This really sucks. Windows Phone was the best mobile OS by a mile. The UI on Apple and Google phones are dogshit. Also, I doubt that Microsoft was harvesting all of my personal data to sell to the highest bidder.

I trust Google and Apple as much as I trust Facebook and Amazon: Not at all.
