I totally agree. Not to sidetrack your assertion, but even Google and Apple do this for their mobiles. Perfectly usable old mobile phones don't run the newer version of the apps at all.
This seems to be more and more prevalent even in other areas like washing machines, microwaves and even cars. I don't get old parts. Even the service technicians throw up their hands and say "Just buy a newer model".
