if you are lucky enough that your phone gets updated custom ROMs.

Less about luck and more about having a popular enough device. Less popular ones are way more unlikely to have them unfortunately.

Sure, but for the not super popular ones it's mostly about whether there's some random dev who owns that phone and wants to keep it alive.

The Droid 3/4 for example where kept alive for much longer than their popularity would suggest.
