Companies like Adobe don't have much of a reason to cater to these unprofitable use cases. They're going to go deep on maximizing customer lifetime value (CLV) for folks willing to pay more. That's how they keep (or more probably, their only option) for delivering double-digit growth year-over-year, which becomes challenging once reaching a certain size.

Indeed but equally this is something I dislike about Macs - on Windows this software would still work just fine.

Absolutely agreed that it doesn't make much business sense to keep supporting LR6. And 5 years is a long timer in the software world. That said, I wonder if there are companies that do support older versions of software just for the sake of customer delight.
