On the server side, probably not, but I'd like to point out that old hardware is not uncommon, and it's going to be more and more likely as time passes especially in the desktop space.

I was hit by this scenario in the 2000s with an old desktop pc I had, also in the 10ys range, I was using just for boring stuff and random browsing, which was old, but perfectly adequate for the purpose. With time programs got rebuilt with some version of SSE it didn't support. When even firefox switched to the new instruction set, I had to essentially trash a perfectly working desktop pc as it became useless for the purpose.
