..by the new OS/kernel they forced you to install, without writing it to be friendly to the old phones they're forcing it onto.

Forced you to install?? No one forced you to install the newest version of iOS.

Do Apple keep security updates over the old versions? That could be an easy way to be forced to update.

Theses 2 relatively recents vulnerabilities are pretty good reason to have to update. https://www.krackattacks.com/ https://www.armis.com/blueborne/
