For reasons I am not sure about,
When a new major version of macOS is released
macOS developers seem obsessed with quickly
releasing a new version of their apps that
will only run on the newest operating
system.
From then on any updates and bug fixes are
only available on the latest macOS
If you don't upgrade to the latest and greatest
macOS you are out of luck.
I fear the day when all new apps must target the
M* chip and everyone on the x64 side has a paperweight
This made even worse when Apple dictates when your
computer is no longer allowed to run the latest
and greatest OS¹.
On the Windows side, a majority of applications tend to
work on a wider range of operating systems.
¹ There are various ways of bypassing this and installing the latest
OS in a most unsupported manner.
