Microsoft put a lot of work on backward compatibility, even on games [0].
I'm not saying app devs aren't to blame, but Apple changed ISA under their feet, Rosetta mostly works, but not always. Who pays devs to fix bugs probably caused by Apple decisions?
Even Linus Torvalds says "we do not break userspace" [1], in fact not fixing "bugs" because things are the way they are.
Apple just doesn't care and never had, it's thier way or the highway, and you pay a lot for it, it just must works, no questions.
