Apple encourages developers to target the latest iOS and the latest devices, which is great if you are on the upgrade treadmill. If you aren't, then your apps stop being compatible fairly quickly. If you have bought an app in the past you are allowed to re-download it, but if you haven't, you just get a message saying that you should upgrade your OS.
