> and they feel cheated into having to buy new hardware when apple has dropped support for theirs

When has Apple dropped the ball on support there? mac OS Mojave supports machines made in 2012...

Thats officially supported. I have personally run stuff a year or two older than official support multiple times with 0 issues.

And 6 years is typically the lifecycle of any laptop. By that point most people start looking for a new one.

My 2011 mbp is doing very well with a new battery, ssd and some extra RAM. I will still receive security updates for years if I'm correct but no more mayor updates indeed.

Man I love my 2012 rMBP. I recently left it on a flight and was devastated. Got it back, luckily. Greatest laptop ever made. I'm taking that thing to the grave...
