Most Apple-deprecated API stick around rather than “just stop working in newer versions of macOS.” Binary compatibility is very well-maintained over the long term.

Red hat definitely has Kabi and Abi gaurantees.
Even Apple doesn't make that level of "unbreakable contract" commitment. Apple will announce deprecations of APIs with two or three years of opportunity to fix them. If apps don't upgrade within the timeframe, they just stop working in newer versions of macOS.
