Oof. Just last night I reset one of my personal systems to its original Yosemite. It couldn't access the app store or many modern web sites because of obsolete SSL. I manually upgraded to Sierra. It barely worked with iCloud and keychain. Getting it up to Mojave felt so much better.
I hate that 32-bit got left behind, and I bemoan apparent "planned obsolescence" as much as anyone. But the fact is that these latest OSes are coming with genuine improvements in security posture. The point that the UI changes are sometimes unwelcome is well-taken, and I can see how the changes in security technologies change the experience for the user in sometimes awkward or baffling ways. Totally get it. But when it comes to stuff like this, I'm afraid the only way through it is forward.
