I wouldn’t mind so much if I could have access to older software that still runs on the device.

This is a real problem for my device - I essentially can't download any "new" software since the app store only appears to make versions incompatible with the newest OS available - and my device (a 2012 iPad 4 Retina to be precise) refuses to update past iOS 10.3.3
