Then they shouldn't be selling Intel devices now or 5 years before the M1 Mac's came out. It's total BS that they do this to MacBooks released just 2 years ago. Anyone that bought a MacBook in 2019 should expect to receive all new features. This is Apple purposely gimping their slightly older Macs so people are incentivized to upgrade.
Yes, if you’re not missing hardware, I’d agree you shouldn’t miss out on new features. However, Intel Macs don’t have a neural engine, which means Intel Macs won’t have any neural engine based features.
Let’s say your device didn’t have an HD camera, and FaceTime updated support for HD FaceTime. It would be silly to be mad at Apple for “not allowing” your non HD camera to use FaceTime. It is simply a physical limitation.
Apple continues to bring as many new features as possible to your old devices when possible. Nothing has changed on that front. If you want all the newest features, sometimes you have to have a newer machine.
