I have to agree - Legacy support (WinTel’s 2008-era compatibility) preserves access for millions but limits innovation and wastes hardware gains. Dropping old hardware allows for faster, leaner, more secure software yet excludes low-income users, schools, and developing regions. If people are keeping and using their old devices, fine. I'd just like to see people NOT throw 5 year old PC's in our landfills because of Microsoft's e-waste by design marketing strategy - ie - dropping support of Win 10. These machines can fly with a Linux OS on them. But, yeah - you make a good point.
