Old apps sometimes die
The best counterargument I know to &quot;Apple should support every app forever&quot; is Windows.<p>Microsoft <i>did</i> that, and modulo 16-bit Windows 3.1 stuff still more or less do. The four or five different flavors of Control Panel UI, reaching all the way back to Windows 2000 in a totally inconsistent and barely comprehensible farrago, is the very least of what came of it.<p>The underpinnings of the OS are, by all appearances and accounts, just alike: so totally fragmented and incoherent that it&#x27;ll take them another 20 years to do anything about that even if they start the day before yesterday. That makes it nigh impossible to do anything both new and worth having - hence Windows 8, 10, and I assume 11 as well as whatever the next at least three to five versions are called.<p>(I&#x27;ll <i>have</i> to assume, because after Windows 10 I will never willingly buy another consumer product from Microsoft for the rest of my life.)
