Nokia G22 with eco design and repairability

This phone has only three year of updates. It is not eco design and repairability.
And only two Android OS upgrade.
They have the nerve to say 'built to last' right above saying it only gets 3 years of security updates. Pretty funny marketing copy there.
Oh, semi relevant story. I have a Nokia T20 tablet and love it, but a few weeks ago it started rebooting every two hours. We can hear those Nokia chimes going off at all hours of the day and night.
I was happy to discover they offer 3 year warranty, but I have to send it off via courier for repair.
I'm very interested to find out what they are going to do to repair a tablet that has no obvious broken features, but where there is something clearly wrong.
And how long it will take? Weeks or Months?
And are they really going to pay an engineer to pop open and try and and fix a tablet that is only $400

"Memory extension tool
Turn unused storage space into additional virtual RAM⁴ for an even smoother smartphone experience."
If I'm not mistaken, this is something Windows for PocketPCs did way back.

Memory paging, windows calls it a pagefile and Linux calls it a swap partition/file. Considering phones use nand flash (which has limited numbers of writes) this seems like a good way to kill the nand faster.

Sorry I was away for a few days.
I wasn't speaking of a pagefile (I know what that is). WinPPC had a setting where you could sacrifice adjust how the onboard RAM was used, as both storage and program memory were RAM in these devices. One could adjust how much to use for each. It was limited in how much, but it was possible.

This is the only source I could find, as these devices are so old, info is hard to find. This refers to CE, but includes the later rebranded Windows for PocketPCs.

Can't hate them for trying. This is the right direction.
Is there any chance these phones are designed to be rootable?
Eco design and repairability, but released with old OS version.
