Android has the same problem where they drop apps that don't target an API version released in the last 5 years or something. After losing all the apps I bought on early versions of iOS and Android it really soured me on buying anything so I haven't bought an mobile app in years. Photoshop CS2 still works on Windows though!

I don't think Google drops then, just prohibits updates. Apps usually keep working but no guarantee for complex apps that depend on changing APIs (like the DnD change with Android 5 or so).
