This macOS version only supports models since 2017-19 (depending on product line). Apple don’t really have an excuse compared to Microsoft since they only have a few hardware options.

It’s amusing to compare the comments here to the comments on windows update threads. As nobody else has, let me add the reminder for everyone to switch to <different OS>.

Let’s be clear. 2017 is SEVEN years ago. Things could be far worse.

Seven years is nothing.

Appart from my 2y old corporate laptop the newest machine in my household is a lenovo Yoga X390 from 2019, nearly 5 year old. everything else is between 6 to 15 years old and they are all running a supported OS.

Also release date != purchase date.

Let's be clear. The Apple premium is LARGE. You expect more from them than any other computer company.
