Um do you mean there's no one running old unsupported versions of macOS?

My ancient Mac Mini is running an old unsupported macOS.  I don't think
they have a supported version for it.  One of these days I'll try to
upgrade it, but I know the latetst version wont install, though there might
still be a supproted version.

I rarely use it these days, and got more important things keeping me busy.
