macOS: Lack of official support for models that are still relevant. I've got the last MacBook Pro that was fully upgradable, a mid 2012 model with a dual core 4th gen i7. You can upgrade everything in it, and I have. 16gb of RAM, two disks, one an SSD, and the other a large HDD. But the latest official version of MacOS is Catalina. But I'm running Ventura on it now with no issues. And in similar respect, no upgradability at all of the new Macs after purchase. It's very anti consumer.
Look for open core legacy on google, I have somona on a early 2015 mbp running great
They’re running Ventura, so they’re using something to get there. :)
How else would they force you to pay 4x market rates for SSD and RAM if they don't force you to buy a new non upgradable machine?
