I was surprised by that. Like the Windows 10 people who can't go forward
it sounds like Apple amy cause people with older Macs to go to Linux.

 Since Apple sells both the hardware and OS, it seems even more self-serving
for them to "obsolete" their older Macs — although Microsoft might as well
own the OEM PC hardware market since they have a near strangle hold on it.
 

You're kidding, right?
The latest OS is macOS Sequoia 15.5...
...and it's compatible with Macs going back as far as 2017.
8 years of support is more than reasonable
