Eventually you need to get rid of old things for whatever reason and embrace new things, Apple just does this a lot faster than others, and it's definitely a good thing.

Not everyone thinks it's good. I have some fantastic games from my childhood 20 years ago that work flawlessly on Windows 10. I really value that.

You have a lot more flexibility in general with desktop OSs, especially when you consider VMs and the like. And even with Windows it's not that straightforward. A couple of weeks ago I spent some time getting old games and mods running on a new Windows 10 system. It involved a lot of patches and otherwise fiddling around--and these were popular games with a large community still involved with them.

I dont think thats the case on Android. Even apps written for Android 1.5 should still work fine on new phones.

Why is it a good thing that I've had to throw 5 iPhones in the e-waste bin?
