You can just about get away with this within an organisation, but you cannot do it to your customers if you have a competitor which doesn't impose this workload on them.
I'd like to kill off a decade-old toolchain I have to target, but people are still using the hardware it's required for. They don't want to spend the money on replacements when the current hardware still works, and why should they?
