Is that actually something people are concerned about? AM3+ and AM4 have lasted for ages and AM5 will probably too.

It is cause some people made purchases thinking their older mobo's will work with the new zen 3 cpus. There are people that recommended getting the B450 over X570 due to this reason since AMD didn't say it wouldn't be supported going forward. I think the general expectation was that every motherboard that has the AM4 socket will support all the cpus that are made for that socket and that expectation was set by AMD.

Now personally, this isn't the biggest of deals since 3 generations of support is still pretty fap worthy but I do think they should have communicated this with the Zen 2 launch.
