in my language: "che palle, ma se te l'ho detto prima..."
someone could have bought an imac A1419 on march 18, 2019 and that lost major OS updates on october 24, 2022. That's just 3 years of major OS updates for the buyer. It will get less than 5 years of total support for the buyer.
you again cherrypicked your example, with a third party app that's not in the app store. Go to watch the requirements of a 1st party app like final cut pro x and see if it can work in your 2010 mac mini.....
Before you say "but that got released in 2017!!!!!11!!11!!" - go to watch your post history and see that you did the same for the school chromebook example. It came out from the factory with 7 years of updates, but it was bought after it sat 4 years in a warehouse
Huh
