it is not a good practice to just eol: true it will be much better to give information when it became or will became eol otherwise it is abit ( dont get it wrong ) useless for users

I disagree that true or false is useless for users. I just threw out a 1st gen Chromecast because Google said support "has ended." If it is still working (it was), it only matters to me before or after "now." But yes having the dates is definitely better.

But in this case the information basically is not available. For the one eol: true case I found the best date I could but Google does not publish this information, they just changed the text of the website to say eol: true on some unknown date. The best we can do for future looking is apply Google's minimum 5 year policy. But given the first Chromecast went about 9 years before going end of life and gen 2 is still going strong after 10 years and Google's 9/30/2020 five year date I don't think this is helpful for users. We are stuck waiting for Google to set the eol flag to true at some random future date. Is there a way to express "could go EOL any day now" from previous entries that we can do for this page?
