Regardless, the problem is nobody wants to spend development time supporting 10+ year old cards when there isn't enough time to support all the features on newer cards.

My laptop works perfectly fine, so the consequence is me switching to Windows, where Asus still keeps its DirectX 11 drivers for the laptop up to date for Windows 10, although the laptop was bought during Windows 7 days.

There's nothing stopping the device manufacturer from spending the time to support the device like they do on Windows, they just don't think it's worth it due to the smaller market share (which makes sense from a business perspective).
