Re: Upcoming MacOS 14.5 with software “notarization” requirements

[Richmond]

This is one of the reasons, having been given a swanky, new 2018 Mac Mini

a Polycarbonate PPC iMac running MacOS 10.4, 10.5 and "Classic".

A really big reason people tend to stick with a platform is the investment in software. Switching from Win to Mac means at least having to purchase VM software to continue using the old apps. Switching the other direction means ABANDONING the old apps and all the work invested in the documents produced.
