Software "support" is such a fucked up thing these days.

Dropping support no longer means "You're on your own now, bye!"

Dropping support now means "Yoink! That's ours. Bye!"

Honestly, the idiots running software that has been unsupported for years with gaping security holes that enabled botnets to attack everyone else are to blame for that one.

No, the issue isn't irresponsible devs.

The only issue here is companies who treat my device as theirs, and make decisions about what needs to be removed from my PC. And of course the voters (like your safety-OCD ass) that tolerate this bullshit being a legal option.
