Apple has a long history of sunsetting various technologies, so I don't know how this is different. Their solution to tech debt is often to just deprecate the edge cases -- which is probably the right decision.

It’s like the exact opposite approach that Microsoft seems to take with Windows, and a key reason that I prefer Apple/MacOS

Yeah, Apple tried to take the Microsoft approach with the Mac Clones in the late 90s and it failed spectacularly because it's just not in their DNA to be a tech company. They're a product company that hates managing technology longer than is absolutely necessary.
