That they are still viable for some applications doesn't mean they aren't outdated. There will always be the thing that "starts" your issues, and pointing at it and saying that it isn't hardwares fault doesn't make it less true. Pointing at past years of non-problematic use doesn't make future incompatibility unacceptable.

This is literally the Simpsons meme of the principal standing outside the broken window, saying

"Is it my old HDDs fault I can't play a brand-new modern game?"

"No, it's the devs fault for not supporting my old hardware"
