It didn’t have anything to do with Sarbanes-Oxley (that was iPhone/iPod touch updates), Apple just charged for OS updates back then. Snow Leopard was notably cheaper than Leopard ($30 vs $130), Lion was $30 on the App Store, Mountain Lion was $20, then Mavericks and everything after have been free. Snow Leopard did have a long life though, it was the last OS that could run PowerPC apps, also the last to run on the original 32-bit Core Duo Intel Macs. |
