Can't say that I'm surprised. But our phone would have benefited from a better, more system wide multi window.

I doubt it because in 2017, that's beyond's note 4's 2 year support. 2016 is the end. and also, if you look at the Note 3, it got its last update in dec. 2015 and it is still 5.0. That was "27" months of support for the Note3.
Using the note 3 as the base, if we were to get android 7, we would have to get it by dec. 2016.

Yea your right. But that is assuming Samsung release Android 7 "on time". Looking back at Android 6, it came out of Google on October 2016. The first note 4s got Marshmellow around June 2016, 8 months after Google released it. But this is still within note 4's 2 year period (note 4 came oUT on Oct. 2014).
Since android 7 was released in Aug 2016, this means that Samsung has around 4 months to release Android 7 to us before 2016 is over. Looking at the past examples, now do you see why I doubt we will get it? Of course this is all my speculation and I'll happily be wrong if do end up getting it.
Samsung mostly gives 2 major system updates to any flagship phone.
Since gingerbread i have been observing that every two version of android looks similar .
Excluding honeycomb cause it was only for tabs.
That also explains why every two versions of touchwiz look similar.
Gingerbread and ICS had many similarities, jelly bean and kitkat had similarities and also lollipop and marshmallow.
This is why the odd galaxy notes(1,3,5) have always been lucky .
There last update isn't similar to previous one , infact there is a major change in terms of UI and features.
For eg. Note 1's last update was jellybean , which was completely different than ICS .
Same for note 3 , whose last update was lollipop , a major upgrade over kitkat .
But unfortunately the even notes have been unlucky.
The note 2's last update was kitkat , which wasn't a big upgrade over jellybean , the UI was almost identical.
And as for the note 4 ,its last update is marshmallow , which samsung decided not to modify for note 4 and hence looks similar to lollipop.

Anyone working on this for the Note 9 yet?
If we look at past experiences with Samsung, Given that last year's Android Pie has not officially made it to the Note 8 yet (more than 7 months after official release) and given that Q is not even out yet, you can expect release about 7 or 8 months after the official release. If we go by the patterns of just about every previous Samsung device before, it will be available by February or March of next year.

What's the latest on Sony's update policy for their Android phones? How long will they provide support for these phones?
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S10 and debating maybe going for the Xperia 1 III once that's released. I love how now Samsung will support their phones for 3 years with OS updates, and 4 years security updates.
How is Sony fairing in this regard? How frequently are they releasing security updates, and what have they promised for OS updates? There really is no need to buy a new phone every year anymore, and I like to use my phones for at least 2-3 years now.
I was unable to find an official source, but there is some hope that Sony will offer three years of OS updates. For the Xperiar 1 II that would mean up to Android 13.
Fyi Watch 5 XDA info:
Samsung rolls out a new watch face for the Galaxy Watch 5
The update also brings November 2022 security patches to the smartwatch.

So it's same update policy as Edge 30 Ultra. That's good.
