I don't see where you've found that is was released in 2021. All I could find was a announcement in 2022, and a release date marked as "Q2 2023" on a third party websites.
That would align with the announced 5 years of support from Qualcomm and an upstream end of support set to 2028.

It's moot anyway, 2028 is the timeline referenced in this article citing FairPhone.
The Qualcomm product brief is copyright 2021. https://www.qualcomm.com/content/dam/qcomm-martech/dm-assets/documents/qcs-qcm6490-soc-product-brief_87-28733-1-b.pdf
Copyright may have been opposed on this document early during development. But anyway, in both case end of support is 2028, which is better than the usual 2-3 years of support for mainline chips.
