"You could install a later version of macOS onto a Mac forced into obsolescence by Apple by using a patcher from DosDude1, "

Don't do it! Even DosDude1 (the creator of the installer patches) now advises to not use them anymore.

There's really no need to go patching macOS installers anymore when OCLP (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) allows installing an unpatched install on unsupported Macs, which then can then run regular OS updates from inside macOS like a supported Mac.

That's how I am running macOS 12 Monterey on an obsolete Mac Pro 2010.
