Well, the idea with iOS/macOS is "Have a recent OS+Device, we change things all the time and demand that everyone moves along in 5-6 years or so".
With Windows it's "We support 20+ years old programs just fine. If you're OK with having to deal with 8+ layers of GUI code and legacy cruft, we're your thing".
It's not like this hasn't been the case for decades, for it to be a suprise...
