Right, I was thinking specifically of a number of apps that were never updated and won't run on newer devices.

Well if an app has been abandoned then it's abandoned and there's nothing anyone can do. But if makers of 'CoolApp' release 'CoolApp2' with support for newer devices then I think that's entirely reasonable to remove the original version and ask users to pay for the upgrade.
