I don't see why would anybody complain that the tools they bought 10 years ago don't magically do the things that the new tools are doing. It's not like the old tools stopped doing the things they do, right?

Anyway, you sel the old machine and get the new one is pretty normal as the Apple devices tend to hold value.

We are talking about Software though.

It's not really sustainable to throw buy new stuff all the time when there's not a technical reason for it

That still doesn't mean that the tooling is bad

let the record show that we're talking about 6 years

Which is about the same time it takes a high school student to get his masters degree in computer science, get into a FAANG and get promoted.

6 years is a lot. It runs about 14$ a month if you throw away you tool at the end. It's probably more like 10$ since you are likely to be able to sell that tool at reasonable price since its Apple.
