Comment on “If You Can’t Stand By a Feature, You Shouldn’t Launch It.” by Sebby

All I really need to know is this: are Apple's leadership not bothered, even a little bit, by the fact that a basic survival strategy nowadays for Apple customers with real work to do is to simply run the earliest version of the software available that's still supported on their hardware? Or that, in having the need to do this, it is in fact better to maintain, or purchase, outdated models?

Pfft. Silly question—of course they aren't! Developers are stuck on the treadmill, so they'll keep buying. And discerning non-developers will always be drawn to the sexy hardware, so they're taken care of too. Everyone else doesn't notice, doesn't care, or blames themselves for this state of affairs.
