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.
You’re extrapolating to “forever”. I just want to reduce e-waste by not forcing people to get new computers they don’t want or need yet. Every year of additional service life, more people upgrade hardware for other reasons.
