End of support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5
Why pull support and remove functionality? Why not just drop support -- just stop updating the app but still allow basic functionality? There are still a lot of legacy machines that are still in use ...
No reason for conspiracy theories, invocation of planned obsolescence or back-room corporate machinations. This is much simpler. Inability. Current coders are just not capable of going back and fixing legacy code, and even if they wanted to, they would not be paid enough to do it. We are seeing just one more example of the inability of the IT industry to build a good product, and the desire of most consumers to want the shiny new toy, regardless of quality or need. Sic transit gloria mundi.
