Not directly they don't, but once they stop signing requests for the older releases, the old OS version dies from attrition as full backups can't be restored from that rev anymore.

I don't imagine that rate is even remotely significant. Restores (aside from buying a new phone) are extremely rare from what I see.

...what would you call constant prompts to upgrade coupled with the inability to restore backups if you don't, if not coercive?

I said I doubt it's significant. I said nothing about "coercive."
