Reply to comment by shofmon88 in Apple to Mark Several iMac Models as Obsolete Later This Month. by SUPRVLLAN
You're correct, but Apple dictates which versions of OSX they'll support on which hardware. Windows just runs on any hardware and continues to update. As does Linux. Apple decides it's not worth their effort (but really just want you to buy a new computer). Anyone who's owned an older Apple knows the drill.

I have a MacBook Pro from 2009 and a mid-2014 iMac. I don’t have issues with either even though they aren’t supported anymore. I challenge you to find a Windows laptop from 2009 that still works.

Challenge accepted - I've got a Thinkpad T400 here, although I think it's from 2008, so technically it's not from 2009 as required.

And it can run Windows 11?

Yup, this guy did: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/o4a2v0/successful_windows_11_install_and_tripleboot_on/
Mine's running Linux (which of course still updates to the latest everything), and I personally have no intention of installing Windows on that particular machine, although it's good to know it can run it.
