Yes, macOS makes it possible to install newer Safari versions on older versions of the OS. However, if you are the type that doesn't update your major OS version regularly, you probably don't check for random software updates anyway, because Apple still shows the Safari updates in the same place as general OS updates. From the settings app, it's the same little red update dot regardless of what the update actually is. I suspect that many people who use old Safari versions are either used to sites being broken, or they use Chrome and don't care. I wish we had more data to verify those assumptions.

One cant update an iphone if there is insufficient free storage, they may have very limited storage and there is no good way to manually move photos and videos to windows over usb or from icloud. People then end up deleting media one by one by hand while taking new pictures and making new videos. It can take a very long time. Most pictures are/feel more valuable than the update.

  Totally. The phone problem I think is unavoidable for a large enough organization. At a certain size of company, with enough users, you just have to accept that your tech stack will lag behind for a few years, OR, you're going to spend an extraordinary amount of dev time building backwards compatibility for less capable devices. I find it silly how some people tack on "just ship a fallback stylesheet" as a legitimate answer (not accusing you) because we all know that it's never that simple.

    I just don't use any of the new features until someone complaints about it. If support is there and it doesn't make it impossible to reason about ill adopt it and thank them. @container style(color: green) and style(background-color: transparent), not style(background-color: red), style(--themeBackground), style(--themeColor: blue) or style(--themeColor: purple), (max-width: 100vw) and style(max-width: 600px) { /* <stylesheet> */ } It is useful as a selector for people. Best not let that guy anywhere near my code.
