Software doesn’t work in isolation. It’s like you’d expect to take a tape with binary recorded on it and then expect it to use it on Mars. And Apple ecosystem is rapidly changing. OSes are changing every year. Phones get reiterated every year. 2 years of no updates mean 2 cycles behind. And Apple is very good with pushing updates on the users. And to be technically correct - both software on the tape brought to Mars and removed games will work in the same hardware and running context exactly the same. But for Mars context made it not runnable anymore and for Apple we’re talking about taking it down from storefront (but all existing customers can still get it). I’d recommend checking Emacs - Elisp is very stable and some code is working well for decades and yet with all the carefulness of the developers some thing breaks due to API changes.
