more to the point… @Israel_B is not facing anyone forcing obsolescence yet.
While there are those that upgrade (Mac of Win doesn’t matter) every time a new feature comes out - we can call them the “Oh Shiny!” people; the vast majority of “personal use computer” people tend not to upgrade/update until they are forced to do so. So when the software developer, or gaming company, or even the OS itself says “Hey, you’re hardware is no longer supported” then it is easy to sit and say everything is hunky dory.
When you start getting the…
“Only Mac computers with an Intel core 2 duo chipset or higher will be supported”
“Only Mac computers with metal based GPUs will be supported”
“Only 64 bit systems that can run DirectX 11 or higher will be supported”
etc etc etc
That is when things hit the cooling fans.
