why won’t the iPhone 8 8 Plus and x get the iOS 17 update

Why? Apple makes this determination. Eventually hardware becomes too old to support current software. The iPhones you mention were released by Apple six years ago.

You will not. iOS 17 requires an iPhone XS or later.

iPhone models compatible with iOS 17 - Apple Support

In simple terms, the old iPhone 8 hardware does not have enough "horsepower" to run iOS 17.

I have iphone x 64GB. Will I get update 17?

iOS 16 is the end of the line for your iPhone 8.

You cannot update an iPhone 8 to iOS 17. This was already covered earlier in the thread.
