There are few things quite as emblematic of late stage capitalism than the concept of "planned obsolescence".

Not sure why everyone is so upset

Because it's upsetting. The fact that it has been upsetting for years doesn't make it no longer upsetting.

The attitude that old news shouldn't be upsetting enables upsetting behavior. And, quite frankly, I find that upsetting :-)

I agree it could be better. But there's nothing I can do about it so I've learnt to not get upset by such things. I can't get upset by everything.

Fair, but I'm just saying, we can still catagorize upsetting things as upsetting, even if, personally, we've achieved equanimity with respect to our inability to effect any immediate change.
