Why does Samsung not keep producing Note 4 and Note 3?

These devices, despite of their release date in 2014 and 2013 still perform very well, and are solid mid-class phones.

A great example: Note 3 (2013) versus A7 2018 (2018):

The Galaxy Note 3 has:

• Air View hovering controls

• Air Gesture controls

• Humidity sensor.

• Temperature sensor.

• 2160p video recording (yes, the Galaxy A7 2018 still only has 1080p at 30fps‼)

• 1080p@60fps smooth video caputuring capabilities,

• Infrared transmitter,

• Slightly larger battery

• User-replaceable battery.

• Highly functional stylus.

• Pop-up windows with small minimum window size.

• Dark user interface (as known from legacy TouchWiz versions) with more icons next to text.

• More customizeable and ultimately vibrant camera application user interface.

All of which the A7 2018 has nothing.

Of course, the Galaxy A7 2018 has some advantages such as quick-launching camera, but why does Samsung not keep producing previous flagships that could be an excellent mid-range device today?
And features such as the camera quick launcher can simply be implemented via software updates that hopefully do not have side effects such as the uglified Lollipop user interface after updating S4, Note 3 and S5.

There is no mid-range Galaxy Note (there is LG G Stylo however), except Note 3 Neo, which got sold much longer than original Galaxy Note 3 despite being not as good as the original Note 3.
