I would have disagreed about supporting 80286 PC-DOS and Apple ][ computers all the way to the year 2000

but supporting 2+Ghz 64-bit x86’s in 2023 isn’t really asking a lot.. and android phones in particular need to be prosecuted criminally for their ocean garbage

You still need to support those, or your expensive factory automation platform stops working.

Unless society as a whole is entirely on-board on paying factory renovations, or the environmental impact of such upheaval of scrapping away working manufacturing plants.
