Compatibility with a terminal from 1971 yet I can't run a copy of Logic Pro 9 I bought 10 years ago - and haven't been able to for years - because Apple.
Do you find Apple's contempt for backward compatibility surprising?
I'm still displeased with macOS Catalina and iOS 11 dropping support for 32-bit apps (including many games) but Apple has a long history of old apps not running on newer OS versions and newer hardware.
Over time macOS dropped support for 68K, PowerPC, Classic, Carbon, and 32-bit apps. We'll undoubtedly get a macOS that won't run on x86, and I will be unhappy, but not surprised, if/when Apple removes Rosetta 2 and x86 app support. I can even imagine an unpleasant time when they remove the Objective-C runtime and frameworks.
I'm sure there were some Apple 1 users who were unhappy that their software didn't work well on an Apple 2, even if the Apple 2 had much better hardware and software.
