Hardware changes over 10 years.
Macs don’t even run on the same CPU architecture or support OpenGL.
Sometimes things just need to change.

The worst is when your virtualization environments intended to provide long-term support don't even accomodate the "new" mainline hardware. Most frustrating example: Virtualbox doesn't work on Apple M1 or M2 chipsets.
why would it, though? Qemu (probably) works on "M" macs. Virtualbox is linked intimately with the underlying hardware, it's a translation layer - even though it can do emulation, it's x86 emulating x86.
i always thought i was one of the few people that used virtualbox instead of the more popular ones; i tend to forget that there's probably a subset of developers that still use it for the orchestration software that can use it.
