It's totally unfeasable for those using stock deviced. Refusing to upgrade takes lots of attention even from experienced users like developers. Regular user just doesn't have any chance to avoid accidentally clicking or intentionally accepting the annoying permanent notification to upgrade OS.
The problem is not the propaganda, it is the businesses restricting the freedom and choices of users because of this propaganda.
So many apps even refuse to be installed on older versions of iOS/Android.
