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 ...

I too use a perfectly working Apple G5 that is PowerPC based running 10.5.8. I can't upgrade my system and my company isn't going to buy a new computer yet I need Dropbox to add and access my colleagues files. Is it necessary to pull the functionality as Matthew asks? How far back are PC users functional? We've got legacy machines running hi tech biomedical equipment using systems older than this!!
