If only Apple put a fraction of its resources towards maintaining something like homebrew (or paying the people who do), maybe the situation would be different.

MacPorts supports everything all the way back to 10.5/powerpc.
That's impressive, but I'd be reluctant to criticize one open source maintained effort for not having parity with another when it's all volunteer-driven. My point was that Apple is an insanely profitable company with resources that are effectively unlimited compared to what Homebrew has (and presumably likewise when compared to Macports), so the initial framing of "this will stop being supported before Apple" seemed pretty silly to me.
