Nobody includes back-comptability today.
Actually, that's not true. Apple has maintained backwards
compatibility with its proprietary software for at least 4 versions
of its operating system. Only with the most recent new version are
they finally breaking that.
Funny you should mention Apple; since they've abused their customers by
breaking backwards compatibility worse than any other company I've ever
heard of. Even worse than Canon!
Must have been a long time since you've used a Mac. My experience is
that your statement is completely incorrect.
You have a short time horizon, it looks like. I'm still using Nikon
lenses I bought before Canon completely orphaned all its current
customers and brought out a new lens mount, too.
In fact, while I've never owned an Apple product, I've done various
hardware upgrades and replacements on Mac products going back to the
68000 days; I watched all these changes flow by my Mac-owning friends,
and wondered why they didn't take the clear hint that they should RUN AWAY!
