How does it count as a transition if everything just breaks? Them giving you warning doesn't make it a transition, it's just an EOL with advanced notice. A transition implies that you're moving from one working state to another, or replacing the old thing with a new one. How am I supposed to replace unmaintained/old software when there's no new 64-bit, notarized version of it?

You're not supposed to. The fault lies with the developers of these apps that knew the change was coming and didn't do anything about it.

Exactly.

You are not, and therein lies the problem that apparently some people are incapable of recognizing. It was a terrible decision, and some guy tried to justify it with "technical debt", but somehow other OSes are perfectly capable of handling it while Apple cannot. Why is that?
