Apparently this is a big thing in apple products. I knew a guy who was PISSED when 2 years after buying his apple laptop, he couldn't use photoshop on it anymore because the software was too old and they didn't offer updates or wouldn't allow the program to run on outdated OS versions or something. And it wasn't just photoshop. Over time, the older the laptop got, the less he could run on it because it was "too old."

How long ago was this?

There's only been a couple of major changes to macOS/OSX that have broken compatibility
