For people who use a computer for mainstream activities (photos, email, etc.), updating to the latest OS usually isn't a problem. But, there is another type of computer user that uses a computer as a tool. I am one of those people. I write and record music using computers. But, like musicians who rely on a particular piano or guitar, I can't imagine not having access to certain sound producing or modifying software. For people like me, updates are scary. For that reason, I was very diligent about downloading installers and updates when they appeared. I now find that Apple has stabbed me, and people like me, in the back. I find it ironic that a company that was so influential and supportive of people using computers for artistic pursuits has done this.
Excellent point. To which I agree; I presume Apple simply has gotten to be too large. And are doing it for the money, not to 'enrich the lives of...' or whatever their sect sentence is their marketing thing nowadays.
