Apple is still signing 10.3.3, so it's not impossible to go back (yet).

True, but that will only last some days or weeks.

The iPhone 5C won't update past iOS 10 so Apple will keep the signed version of that around and you can find 5C's for cheap. I mean if you really want to keep using 2009 apps. (I am not claiming that this is at all a reasonable work-around, just that there is a work-around.)

That's a good point. They can be stupid and inconvenient about it, but it's not making this stuff completely inaccessible.

You can still download iOS 5 for the original iPad and restore it.

The newest version of iTunes still supports the first generation iPod as far as I know. I know it still supports the first generation iPod Touch.
