    This is like a car seat manufacturer refusing to “support” cars without seatbelts and then claiming their new line of seats is secure.

      It is not the same. The government won’t even allow you to drive a car without a seatbelt if you somehow managed to buy one. Anyways most cars will provide you support for 5 years. A car is worth tens of thousands of dollars yet you get less support than a computer and nobody is complaining about that. Just like you can use your car with its 10 years old software, you can use your 10 years old computer with your old OS (Windows 10). This is a very simple problem.

        Obviously it’s not exactly the same. It’s an analogy. It’s only meant to help illustrate a point.
