Well yeah I installed AOKP on my brother's GSIII for the hell of it and he really enjoyed it, despite him not being very tech savvy.
That's another thing I've noticed from developing both in iOS and Android. In Android you can develop most of the latest stuff to go all the way back to Api 8 whereas if you ever develop in iOS you go can only go back a couple versions depending on what Apple decides. Both models have their pros and cons of course.

Planned obsolescence is kind of Apple's thing, mostly because they don't make any effort at backward compatibility. I've trashed perfectly good Macbooks with Core 2 Duos, 4GB RAM, etc just because they have 32bit EFIs and Apple doesn't support those anymore. So they can't run anything above Leopard. So no app store, no iCloud, etc.

You could have installed GNU/Linux on them.
