Except that in that world they cannot force apps to adopt new APIs and have to keep supporting the old ones, thus the forced upgrades.

Apple does keep supporting old APIs indefinitely.

    • I can give you examples. Just the other day I was updating an API that has been deprecated for a decade and a half but still worked. I never had to update a deprecated API in macOS, though I do. Maybe I got lucky in the ones I use, but either way the point stands.
