I kinda disagree. If you need something to connect to the internet, it needs to be rather up to date.

I am... Confused about your request. Why can't you also have the same on your phone? Are you still using popmail? Sounds like simply setting your accounts to IMAP should solve your problem.
But that already happens all the time. Vedy often the rights end up in the hands of some corporation and the author gets to have ~zero say in how it's used.
Doesn't seem to have been a particularly big issue.
It literally says "Other authenticator apps that support OTP [...] can also be used".
The whole "Apple products are great because they control both software and hardware" always made about as much sense to me as someone claiming "this product is secure because we invented our own secret encryption".
We don't need that, we already have Scandinavia.
I don't find it at all annoying to keep NewPipe up to date.
I think you may need to take a look at Obtainium.
You can get e.g. pylance to work if you trick it:

So, at least in that instance, it's just Microsoft being a little petty.
As someone who got a physics degree and knows some shit, the first couple seasons are not too bad. The physics/math jokes are mostly fairly accurate, and those shows happened as nerd culture was getting mainstreamed. The first Avengers movie were several years away. I can't really say whether the series had a part in this mainstreaming, but at the least it was in the Zeitgeist.
I grew up in the north Italian province. Being a nerd didn't make you an outcast, but definitely an odd one.
The first couple seasons came out while I was doing my bachelor (i.e. the equivalent of undergrad) and with its caricature of some quirks I could recognize in many of my friends and colleagues, it made me feel at least acknowledged.
Then it got progressively worse as they kept looking for more and more ways to drag it on, lost those qualities I found positive, and I really gave up not too long after that.
Edit: I still need to point out that Star Trek TNG is peak comfort TV, together with maybe The West Wing or some Doctor Who.
The problem with that is the power consumption. It adds up.
You think that's a lot? I don't have a single laptop younger than 6 years, at home or work.
My current laptop is 7 years old, and I Love It!
I still even play games with it. Not the newest stuff, but I have such a huge backlog of indies and not-so-new games that I could play for 15 years...
If someone told me this will be garbage in 3 years... I would hit them with the laptop. It's a T470p, their skull is the part that would break.
