Android Oreo was released on August 21. Adoption is at 0.5% (among devices that accessed the Play Store in early December):

Yesterday, Google released some fresh platform data explaining how many devices are running each version. Android 8.0, as you might expect, is struggling with a measly 0.5 percent share. Google's latest Pixel phones run the software, but otherwise it's hard to come by. There are some outliers, of course — the quietly impressive HTC U11, for instance — but most are still shipping with a variant of Android Nougat. Which is, well, hardly ideal for Google.

Android 7.0 and 7.1 have a combined share of 23.3 percent. Respectable, but still behind 6.0 Marshmallow (29.7 percent) and Android Lollipop (26.3 percent).

Here's an article about changes in Android 8.1.

    You're very lucky to get 3 years from most Android manufacturers. Mine got two and in the second year it took six months before a high-profile vulnerability being announced and Motorola bothering to push out the fix.
