Apple has increasingly moved towards a disposable tech paradigm. They seem to want, expect, and maybe even contrive a reason for you to throw away your device and buy a new one every year.
Apple also writes horrible software and breaks perfectly fine APIs with every OS release to eventually force you into hardware upgrades.
Windows and Ubuntu have dropped support for 32 bit processors.
I can still boot my white clamshell Macbook from almost 20-years ago. It didn't disintegrate at the 5-year or 10-year mark.
That doesn't mean Apple must continue to support it.
