Nothing lasts forever, and eventually you have to port, emulate, archive or otherwise deal with very old applications / media. You see this all over the place: physical media, file formats, protocols, retro gaming, etc.

There's a sweet spot between giving people enough time and tools to make a transition while also avoiding having your platform implode into a black hole of accumulated complexity. Neither end of the spectrum is healthy.

I can still run windows applications that are decades old. If you don't want to support legacy stuff, don't insinuate yourself into global standards.

If this was just Android that would be an issue between Google and their developers/users, but this is everybody.
