alt Hacker NewsExactly. Apparently Apple still finds enough idiots who perform that dance, but they've lost me. I can only hope others will follow and xtool looks like it can help.

I daily every os for 2-3 years and then switch. There are lots of benefits to OSX. Stability, perfect Standby and battery runtime to name a few. This would not be possible if they would support older Hardware. As long as windows and linux is unable to archive similar metrics, they prove apples point about this topic. Just look how fast everybody transitions to M Processors including the software developers. There is no point to stay on old hardware with apple.
Most of us get compensated to do it and the hardware either paid for or tax deductible. Whatever positions you take as a developer, there is strong end-user demand for software on iOS and to a certain extent macOS so there will continue to be people who'll do that dance.
Don't worry, those "idiots" are doing perfectly fine with great salaries and a nice developer experience who apparently figured out using archaic hardware for developing newer devices is practically pointless even if there were software support.
