It is like this everywhere. Or course, if you download it to your phone and update, it will just work.

Wow, I didn't realise downloading and copying files to a phone is considered "hacking" now...

When a company promises 2 major Android updates they must do it in a way that all the users can receive it.
I doubt that no tech savvy users know what root directory is (and they don't care as well). Since smartphones are consumer grade equipment they should be easy to use and update.
I had several Android smartphones and this one is the only one that should be updated manually to the most recent Android version. Hopefully this situation will last only till Asus manage to fix all the problems with Android 12 and release an OTA update after that. Otherwise the not tech users are getting only 8 months of software support which is just ridiculous.
