  When apps like Blender stopped working on my mid-2010 iMac is when I jumped.

    My two 2015 vintage Macs are fine as browsers but wanted a fairly loaded Apple Silicon MacBook with a big SSD for various reasons.

  Cybersecurity. You are 10x more likely to be hacked than someone running a modern OS with browser+os-level zero days patched. At least run Linux on it.

    Why do you think they haven’t updated the OS and browser? Also, how can you patch a zero day?

      Apparently according to online sources, the latest OS supported on a 2010 iMac is macOS Mojave, and the latest security update for Mojave was released in 2021.

        Later versions of macOS can be installed on older hardware than is officially supported by Apple, by using OpenCore Legacy Patcher: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/
