Why would they want to support an OS that they're not even selling anymore?
Continued money stream.
Better than single payments because more predictable.
What money stream? You can't buy it from them anymore. They only money they could make is from selling user data, and there's no reason they couldn't do that after dropping support.
That seems like a them problem though… shitty business model that’s already pushing users away
