Actually its hard coded to be this year minus 10

i agree with this, the years shouldn't be hardcoded, should only appear the years from with there are articles in the database. Perhaps a form field generate with db values, similar to the position filed in the admin com_modules filter?

I was thinking that it should be dynamic based on the content
So if you have archived content from 1999 the year will start at 1999
but if you then delete that content and the oldest archived content is now
2002 the year will start at 2002

yes, get the year of the oldest archived article and start from that year.
it would work also, and maybe be simpler.

When years displayed and no content, it is time wasting for users to search which year has archive and it is not relevant to show years without content.

It will be awesome if Joomla can fetch years based on archive availability.

Closed as we have a PR #10059 for testing
