I have a 2012 Macbook Air that's still a great piece of hardware. Still great for light tasks and actually not too bad for heavier ones. It has very few moving/active parts - just a CPU fan and battery - so it doesn't require that much maintenance to keep chugging. Problem is, my official macOS security updates end end of next year. 10 years of support is alright I guess, but what do I do, throw it out and add it to the ewaste pile? I think not. I can give it a second life as a desktop or server (great idle power consumption) with Linux or any of the BSDs. If I buy a 2022 Macbook Air, I'd like to repeat this process for it in 2032. Moore's law is dead, treasure your hardware.
