I don't understand your comment. I am saying you should have updated SO and updated apps. Apple is in charge to update the SO and the app developers to update their apps.
I'm saying that I should have a choice not to upgrade to the latest features -- including the dropping of support for 32-bit apps -- without having to give up security fixes, which are fundamentally defects in the product.
Imagine if you bought an mp3 & aac player, amassed a collection of mp3 formatted audio, and then the vendor said "oh, we have to do an update because if we don't the player will explode. and we're removing the ability to play mp3 formatted music, but that's ok, you can play aacs." No one wants their audio player to explode, but by the same token it was sold as a device that plays mp3 and aac.
You can not upgrade, but you will have security issues.
It is very hard to offer support for legacy systems. You should expect more than 2 year support. Software evolves really fast, companies cannot sit and wait. They will lose their hype and money.
