> Yeah, you can run an unsupported macOS forever (without ads for the newer one)

Not if you want to do anything other than email and web.

Xcode and all the supporting utilities deprecate pretty fast. It doesn't take very long before your old Xcode can't be used to sign or install anything.

Yeah, Xcode has been the biggest driver of me upgrading my Macbook. Even still I managed to put it off for 8 years, but that's because I took a break from Xcode for several years.
