Yeah, that makes sense. If it's starting to bite them in the butt, though, maybe they should start relegating that stuff to emulation, if they can write a good enough emulator.
I don't know when. Maybe it's already gone by, maybe it's in the future. But there's probably a point in time when all of that backward compatibility stops being worth it.
Oh I see. Well if it has exactly the same API, if that API also has weird legacy stuff built in that hinder developers, then maybe not, but overall that does sound very similar, yes!
