Only the new apps that use features (e.g. native support) not available on older phones will not work on older phones. Is that not how iOS and android upgrade too?

No, that's not how iOS or Android upgrades work because those companies specced out their platforms before launching them to market.

You can't just "add native support" after the fact. That's a major addition which should have been there from day one.
