1. 5% users is in the "not economically viable to support" bracket.

2. A team of 5 people is nowhere near enough to keep these older systems *securely* supported.

3. Apple fully supports (HW/FW/OS/Security) systems back to 2012 (a decade), and for security even longer. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

4. '...total lack of hardship' - see (2), plus it's not just the immediate costs; there are far higher hidden costs associated with supporting very old hardware.
