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"

You can also check into 3rd party FW as well. If they support various NG routers, they tend to keep the FW update flame burning as well.
