I wasn't so much taking a shot at Apple as I was trying to point out the stability of Windows. The reality though is that APIs on either system outlive the usefulness of most applications.
In a purely technical sense though you can't run a 2001 era Cocoa App on a 2018 Mac without recompilation. You can't run a System 7 era App on a 2018 App without at least minor API tweaks (Cocoa isn't 100% compatible with System 9's API). You can run a 1990s era Win32 App on a 2018 Windows 10 PC without recompilation.
