It was released in finland not long ago, but i presume they might fix some bugs in the proccess and that is why they hold on the updates to global market. It should eventually come sometime this month, after that, security patchings should start roll more frequently again.
As for not finding parts, just wait, they will turn up at some point, you do not need them now, or do you? If you already broke it, well, not cool, but maybe you can contact them directly to send you some parts, if not, just wait, if they officialy sell this phone in your country, they are obligated to sell parts too.
If you are into custom rom-s the devices bootloader can be unlocked, the OEM unlocking is activated straight from the factory.

And it's not just repair kits, even cases (both original and 3rd party) aren't available in India. It's almost like this phone wasn't officially launched here and I'm kind of starting to regret buying one. Also, we got the Made in China variant even though HMD manufactures all of their other models here. I wanted to give them a shot but it's starting to feel like a bad decision. Plus, when they're only offering three years of security updates, it was obvious to think that at least in the first year, these updates would be monthly. On the contrary, they are not. My Skyline sits on November 2024 patch still. It's making me kind of sad because I want to like them, but they don't.

        For a so called "repairable" phone, there's currently no way to purchase the repair kits for this phone from HMD India website. And the price is still 36k - the launch price!

          Given its price point, a minimum of 4 Android version upgrades would make sense.

            Back awhile I wouldn't care about software support but my current phone, RealMe X3 Superzoom is only updated till Android 11. I already can't use my insurance and banking app which is forcing me to buy a new phone now.

We all know damn well that they’re just as complicit in the exploitation done by the phone industry as any other manufacturer, and no repairability features are gonna change that.

I agree that 2 OS upgrades and 3 years of security patches is not enough.

                    How many units did they actually sell?

                      What a joke! Two major Android updates and three years of security patches for repair oriented phone?!
