Why? Windows has been the one updating itself making sure to not break backwards printer support, not the other way around.

You can still use printers from the 90's on modern Windows, meanwhile MacOS seems to break support for recent printers between minor updates.

It's not like they're a cash-strapped start-up, if Microsoft can afford to invest in maintaining backwards compatibility, so can Apple.

Sounds like Apple is just lazy and doesn't care what it breaks treating their desktop OS like their mobile OS where app devs need to keep pace with them, and fans will die on the hill defending them.
