But no one is saying that these companies are forcing people to move to the new OS. The issue is that there's not even an option to move to the new OS for some users because their software literally can't run. It's not about chasing a moving target when the 64-bit change was announced 4+ years ago. Waiting until the very last possible moment and then complaining that 1 or 2 APIs changed leaves no one to blame but the developer that ignored the warnings and waited to fix their issues.

I'm not talking about dropping 32-bit support. I'm talking about audio glitches that come up with every single major and minor update to macOS (or any OS). Catalina seems to be especially bad in regards to general stability.
Many audio tools have to deal with third-party, paid, and often abandoned drivers and plugins. So the 32-bit transition made for some difficult decisions. Nobody is arguing this is a surprise.

Wait until MacOS move to homemade ($$$) ARM cpu and everything you use except what is made by big publisher is broken, forcing you to buy a huge string of fresh arm software to replace depreciated x64 intel capable softwares.
In every Apple technical decision, there is a financial motivation.
