It's surpring that Go 1.17 discountined support for MacOS 10.12 (or older), which released only 4 years ago.

Along with deprecating Intel support, it seems like Apple, their users and the ecosystem is totally fine not giving a shit about supporting aging software. It doesn't seem like anyone cares that much either.

Even more impressive that on average, Macbooks have a much longer lifespan than other laptops, while the software they run is intolerant of old versions.
