I can't tell you how many Apple devices I've had that have become unsupported over the years.

Yeah as much as this sucks I honestly hope that Microsoft will actually take advantage of this and start moving legacy support into more specialized options.

A lot of the reason windows is so janky at times is because of the insane obsession they have with backwards compatibility.

False.

I work for Microsoft and I can assure you that any effort I make to increase code quality or reduce jank (or pretty much anything other than shoving more AI in our products) will not positively impact my bonus next year.
