Lead paint harmed a lot of innocent third parties, as did smoking near other people. Not sure I see the analogy.

When MacOS killed 32-bit libraries, it didn't save me from harm. It just made MacOS incapable of playing old steam games, and therefore my macbook air was no longer an acceptable laptop for vacations. I'm not saying it was a crime for Apple to change it -- OSes change. But it wasn't a benefit to me, and I took my business elsewhere.
