I know, but Apple offers trade-in credit anyway when you "sell" your old laptop back to them. Offering an additional credit as good will to recent Intel owners would do nothing but help their reputation and get old systems off the street. It doesn't effect me... I migrated to Apple Silicon years ago.

It’s just a simple value prop. Is the cost of increasing the payout worth the brand reputation?
Well we can say with confidence what Apple determined the answer to be. Only a few dorks on HN will care that a 5 year old laptop won’t get the new macOS update.
5 years is admittedly a bit short. But the M1 was a quite frankly revolutionary upgrade. So it’s a one off.
