The worst is when an application updates itself just so it can stop running and tell you to upgrade to the latest OS version.

Hyperbole. Almost no software on macOS requires the latest.
However, it's great that developers are not too concerned with backwards compatibility. It was really holding back a lot of software

I told you a true story about my experience and you call it 'hyperbole'. Well, ok if it suits you.
On your second point, proper developers release security updates and backports for software released decades ago, while others always chase new shiny things and contribute a lot to this unsupportable legacy hell that we have to deal with.

It's almost as if your anecdote isn't reality or truth.
For example, I used Sketch on my ond mac once and was quite happy, but then they dropped support for the OS version that mac was stuck upon. And since newer libraries resources etc all target latest version of Sketch, the version of Sketch I could run quickly became useless.
