god forbid you ever want to run any 32 bit programs. you can’t even play the orange box games anymore

They could've easily continue going the Catalina way (you can allow 32-bit programs to run after a warning if upgraded from an older OS), but they didn't. I don't understand why they forced 64-bit on Big Sur, it breaks so many old, non-updated apps and they know that.

they have a history of Thinking Differently about backwards compatibility. it’s just like the headphone jack all over again
