Nope. No such law exists and nobody can force them to support something.
A company can cease support on whatever they like, whenever they like.
Even warranties have the "escape clause" that says something to the tune of 'we can change this whenever we want...blah, blah, blah'.
Good to know.
Just because they aren't required doesn't mean they will stop making replacement parts. I went to a Honda dealership to have my 12 yr old car looked at. They still had everything I needed to get it working properly.
It would make me more likely to shop somewhere if I knew I could get something I needed no matter how obscure it is, whether it be a headlight or a set of bed sheets. There is just a level of security that is needed for me when I purchase something, which is why almost anything comes with a warranty.
