I think your core point is somewhat valuable, but does it really matter if any modern software could run on such outdated software? Why would I care if my software couldn’t run on a 20 year old machine? The new Raspberry Pi 4s have better hardware specs than the machine you gave as an example. Also, sometimes “fast enough” is just that - fast enough. It is not necessarily true in every case, but sometimes it is.
