I have a curious question. How many years do you get Netgear Firmware Updates for a Router. Like for example I bought it in 2021 last year.

Several years? The R7000 was released in 2013. Almost a decade ago and still getting updates.
But thats not the case with all products as some of them get much less updates. A lot depends on who they sources the chipset/wireless chips from.
So you can usually get a few years and even more for other devices. Its not something we can say "you get XXXX amount of years"

Unknown mostly or when a model becomes EOL.
Take a look at older model routers, like the R7000 series, been out for a several years now, still getting updates.
