I feel like that was the case in the 90s and earlier, but now? An 8 year old computer is quite capable of doing the kinds of basic browsing that most non-geek users do. But without the newest macOS, they are open to security vulnerabilities.

So people have to pay up for an expensive new machine that doesn't do anything really that different to what they had before, just to be back at square one.
