My 2011 macbook is already not supported by new versions and Mac hardware are not backwards compatible with older OS versions. It's extremely likely that they can't even run newer versions even if they wanted to. If not now then in the near future.
I think trying to make any moral argument in this situation is pointless as the risks are so minuscule. But should we go down that road the environmental benefits of keeping older hardware in use for longer far outweighs any security risks they may impose on others.
