I feel like Apple's way of forcing is because you cannot buy new Apple products with old features. In software you can keep using the old version and complain about the new one. This problem is especially visible in poorly designed ecosystems like Go and Python. Do you think introducing generics to a language like Go won't cause a great divide in the community? Sure, it won't be a breaking change but it will still divide people into the "old way" and "new way" camps. I guess the language which changed the most along the years without breaking things is C# but then again .NET actually introduced a lot of breaking changes unrelated to the C# language.
