Spek, folks I have highly respect to you but I just can't agree on this one
King Google has promise that Pixel devices will enjoy
full 2 years OS stable supports and 3 years for security patch.
I think, vendor that can offers 4 years software supports
maybe only Apple will make the cut and it set standard of it own
or actually, they made it with iPhone 4s which has five major updates.
although, those device maybe too aged and too slow to handle new OS anyway.

Google have the position to push HW vendors support for its products. Not Sony
One prime example is Nexus 6P, it has Oreo and other OEM, including Sony, EOL'ed it...And Google Glass, its SoC maker TI must worked their ass up to support it even TI already scrapped it SoC department months before.
Sony not only relies on Google but also SoC chipmaker and some vendors (like WiFi/Bluetooth and sensors, eg. light sensor,...)
ZL/ZQ only supported for like almost 3 years, nope.

I would be little bit shame, to ask for extending supports
It could be hard as Sony may update some devices straight to Android P and with P they'll have to add Treble support, what I don't see them doing for any other device than XZ Premium.

With Android Enterprise Recommended more devices than just Pixels will get 3 years of support.
By joining Sony promised 3 years (of security updates) for Sony Xperia XZ1, Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact, Sony Xperia XZ Premium, Sony Xperia XA2 and Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra.

Regular consumer get 2 years of OS and security updates, while Enterprise cert device is on different track.
Not sure how you could compare them?
-----
With project treble in mind, yet again vendor require to do device re-partition drive
which is higher risking to brick customer device in-between the process of update over the air.
Treble is much easier to handle from vendors when rolling fresh out of production line.

I'm more interested how Sony will recognize them?
Doesn't Enterprise devices are sam one as regular ones? There are same models, variant, regions and SI numbers.

Enterprise usually are locked, hardened security, and usually receives major updates a little bit later as these requires more testing and verification.
If you unlocked an enterprise phone you'll loose it's security features and almost all enterprise apps will refuse to work on them, it's kinda like SafetyNet but on the OEM level, Samsung has Knox, HTC has S-On, I don't know about Sony.
With SafetyNet not passing, banking applications will refuse to work, hell even Snapchat will refuse to login.

Hope Sony can get more deals like that one with French Police.
A new tablet with pen would be very welcome.
Best tablets around are 4:3 .
