    Because of the sheer amount of e-waste it will generate by force-decommissioning hardware in active usage. Don’t know why that’s so hard to understand.

      The only reason that’s any different than any other time Microsoft has released a new OS is that more people own computers now than ever before, improvements in hardware power have slowed significantly, and people are more outspoken online now.

      It’s still not reasonable to expect them to support all hardware forever on an aging codebase.

      I understand the frustration, but this isn’t some new thing for this new OS in particular.
