This was my personal favourate statement in the article.

"Deciding whether and when to upgrade macOS is one of the more difficult choices we face. If your Mac isn’t capable of running the current release of macOS, or you’re dependent on key hardware or software which is incompatible, then the decision is made for you."

If you head over to the hackintosh side of things you will notice that very rarely does a hackintosh not upgrade to the next version.

I don't want to get "conspiracy theory" here but I do wonder how often the next release is blocked by Apple, not by hardware?

There are hacks to allow the new OS to run on real Apple hardware despite being blocked and people who have done this seem to be running the new OS just fine?

Releasing an OS with serious bugs, then limiting someone from upgrading to a newer one which fixes those issues is just bad.
