    Third reason: Certain companies (coughgooglecough) code their apps to degrade and lose core functionality after being out of date for an extended period of time.

      Yeah I hate it.

      It doesn’t have to be like this, I can literally fire up my iPhone 5C with iOS 10 (10 years out of date btw) and still connect to the App Store, Apple Music, use iCloud and see the online leaderboards in games that use Game Center.

      Oh, unrelated fun fact: apparently Rovio left the servers open for Angry Birds Epic. 13 years later you can still play even if it is unlisted everywhere
