  Yes really, nothing forbids random developer Joe not to follow your point of view.

    Carbon was 32 bit only. macOS is 64 bit only now. It isn't a point of view.

      Not everyone is running on the latest macOS version, and even so we are still down to 3 frameworks, yes it is a point of view.

        Apple removed Carbon and made Catalyst generally available in the same version. So they weren't ever viable at the same time. And can you point to even 1 developer considering a brand new app that doesn't support the last 2 OS versions? Why stop at Carbon if you count removed frameworks? They had Classic and X11 too! And HyperCard! Catalyst is expressly for porting iPad apps. So it's just SwiftUI and Cocoa if you compare macOS to Windows.
