Backward compatibility is less of an issue when fixing legacy stuff takes $25 in tokens.

Unfortunately there is no universally supported newer API thanks to Apple.

Shouldn't Apple be the one spending the $25 to deliver a product that works?

"Why have X when Y costs $N in tokens" is becoming a tired thought-terminating cliche.
It shouldn't be user's responsibility to have to get their binaries to work at all costs.

How about they spend $25 in tokens to fix what they broke?

Why, yes, of course, have all the devs in the world spend $25 and tons of time each, because Apple doesn't care about devs nor users.

I can port _my_ stuff away from OpenGL, but can't port 3rd party or legacy software that I use.
