I believe they are ending or did end 3G because now there is 4G and 5G and by doing so they can free up more frequency's to be used for other things that 3G occupied. So not really planned obsolescence but more of removing of old tech to make way and room for new and better tech. Planned obsolescence is what apple does to their phones where they intentionally slow them down after a few years to force you to buy a new one. I think France passed some law against it and Apple had to roll out some update and magically all those old "slow" phones started working almost like new again.
