There was a time when you had to pay for the next major version. I think it went free around mountain lion or so?
And even then it was only $20. The last time it was over $99 was 16 years ago.
Indeed. Last two were twenty.
Are you telling me I can get a cougar for free?

Go to the right bar and she'll buy your drinks.
After 4 years, you have to pay $1999 to get a new iMac. (all numbers were made up)
My 2010 MacBook Pro disagrees
2012 MBP still going strong as a daily driver.
You're saying your 13 year old macbook is still getting updates? I know the Pro models usually have extended support, but 13 years sounds a bit extreme. The latest version of OS X that supports the 2010 Macbook Pro is High Sierra from 2017.
Updates? No, but still runs like a champ. Even so, an OS from 7 years after its manufacture date is pretty good. My main point was against your “after 4 years” you need to buy a new Mac.
And you still get software updates just no more os updates.
Do they still do security updates for old versions of MacOS? It’s something they’re really good at when it comes to iOS after all.
Depends on the version
I've got MacOS 13 running on a 2010 MacBook Pro with OpenCore Legacy Patcher. It's not the fastest laptop but it runs way better than you'd expect a first gen mobile i7 to handle a modern OS
Heah, my 2013 MBP died this year (at least the wifi module did), so I replaced it. 9 years is good in my book
