It is macOS that is “different” from how people expect a “Unix”

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
