Part of being in Apple's ecosystem is being subject to their deprecation schedule. Apple is a luxury product, they market themselves as a luxury product, and not supporting old devices allows them to focus on what makes them a luxury product (innovation) rather than what doesn't (supporting older models).

I think the idea that matrix will solve your problems is not very well thought out. If anything supporting effectively deprecated devices is a poor security stance. Matrix, from what I can tell, is complicated and complexity is the opposite of security.

I know I am not going to make you feel unreasonable by saying this, but I think you are being unreasonable.
