I think this is one of Apple's dirty tricks to make us buy old products at high price.

Unfortunately I have 2010 MBP. It cannot even connect to my 4K TV at any resolutions. Tried it with Moshi mindisplayport to HMDI adapter yesterday.

Lucky you.
I should have been sleeping but I cannot sleep due to Apple.
I bought the MBP 2017 13" last week. Tried it for two hours but still do not like the keyboard nor the touch bar. The whole thing feels very cheap and it is like a toy. Wanted to return it within two days but when my 49" 4K TV arrived and I plugged it in, I fell in love with 4K. Can't leave it. Apple sold me the wrong adapter that cannot generate 4K@60Hz. With a correct adapter, the image quality would be even better. I can continue to use the computer for a few more days before I return it for a refund. An external keyboard is on the way but with that internal keyboard, I am not going to keep it. I am typing on my MBP 2010 now as the keyboard is just excellent. The fan is so loud each day that I want to throw the computer against the wall each day. Still about two more weeks to go until WWDC. After I return the MBP 2017 13", will Apple allow me to get another one, use it until WWDC and return? What suggestion do you have during this two week wait period?

I guess so, however I'd buy it refurb ($,1,699) Or on eBay for less than that.
Under TC's leadership, Apple is a jerk.

since you need it for work, you should have got one long ago. And what do you mean with having waited 2.5 years? there have been updates in that time frame
But if you are set on waiting, so some maintenance on your 2010.
These are options depending on how handy you feel.
1. remove bottom and clean dust from fans and heatsink grills. This can be done by everyone with a can of compressed air.
2. if you feel good around tech and computer, replace the thermal past as what is in it will be dry now.
I was considering to get the Surface Pro as I wanted a tablet-laptop hybrid. Then, changed my mine to wait for the Surface Book 2 since it has a Nvidia GPU. When SB 2 arrived, I found that MS had not fixed the issue of loosing hinge. Moreover, the SB 2 has throttling and power issues. Then, I decided to give up the Surface line and stay with Apple. At the same time, Apple put those stupid butterfly keyboards in 2016-17 MBP. If I end up with MBP 2018, I will have to buy eGPU as well.
