Apps stop supporting older/legacy devices because of all the new hardware/software improvements. If you're lucky, some apps will be backwards compatible and will run on older iOS releases, but that's rare. I have several apps that prompted me to upgrade my phone because they no longer support such and such iOS version. Some of them still work in legacy mode though. But this is just planned obsolescence[0] in action. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence
