It is a bit weird to want better support. Version 3 is out for so many years already.

Have you dropped using windows when XP is not supported anymore ?

Not a great analogy: Programs designed for Windows XP, or even as far back as Windows 95, still run on current versions of Windows. Support for 16-bit programs (from the era of Windows 3.0, released in 1990) started to be dropped in Windows 7 64-bit, and even that included "Windows XP Mode" so they could still be run.
