Apple does keep supporting old APIs indefinitely.

No it doesn't, do you need examples?

  • 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.

    • Try to use Quicktime, Quicktime3D, QuicktimeVR on Tahoe, with their Mac OS 9 API surface.

      Or Java Bridge, Carbon, AGL for some more recent on OS X timeframe.

      An example on Github compiling on Tahoe is welcomed.

      Nope, "Apple does keep supporting old APIs indefinitely.". doesn't stand.
