Yeah, it does. It meets the requirement just as much as many other Android phones but it doesn't mean they will update it. No matter how much you paid, €200 or €300, this is a budget device and it won't get another update. It's disappointing for sure, but oh well, it is what it is.
Yeah, Huawei has never updated their budges devices twice, so we didn't expect much anyway. Somehow I remember that manufacturers must give 2 major updates per device, but I'm not sure.

The Google Enterprise program forces OEMs to give at least 1 major OS update + an extra year of security patches. Most flagships get 2 major os updates and an extra year of security patches. It's really disappointing that even most flagships dont get a 3rd major OS update, while iPhones get 5 iOS updates. Example: The Galaxy S8 that in 2017 we were calling the pinnacle of phone design, (probably) isn't getting Android 10, while the 2015 iPhone 6s has gotten iOS 13.

To summarize my rant: Android updates are ****ed up, and if Google doesn't do something about it, then nothing will change.

https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8x-honor-10-emui-10-android-q/

the honor 7x will receive android 9.1 and has the same processor as ours. I could be wrong but I believe it started with Android 7 so it will get 2 major updates. I believe Huawei chipsets (even the medium tier ones) will support 3 versions of Android. ours started with 7 and I bet the mate 10 lite had a similar story to the honor 7x. and so I would guess that the mate 20 lite will receive Android 10 since it has a newer chipset, yet our phones won't.

I think with huawei phones an indicator if your phone will support the next version is a different phone with the same chipset to be updated. but yet I haven't seen a promise for a phone with the Kirin 659...

At the site you sent they mentioned that they are not sure if the p20 lite (aka Nova 3e) will get Android 10/EMUI 10.

Yeah but Huawei has made the bootloader so locked that we can only unlock it with paid software... But if people really want EMUI 10 that bad the $4 will be worth it all.

But the exploit does not give you a bootloader code and updating to emui 9 will lock and the emui 10 port probably will be based on emui 9
