This discussion feels a bit ancient to me. Considering that desktop apps nowadays rely on web counterparts to be functional, most commerecial apps will stop running after some time, regardless of whether operating systems keep compatibility or not.

Surely you've just outlined the very best reason to keep alive old applications that don't require a web counterpart! Personally I want to keep GuitarPro 6 alive (There's no newer version for Linux because binary software distribution on Linux wasn't worth the trouble) and Quartus 13.1 (because I still write cores for a CycloneIII-based device and 13.1 is the last version to support that chip.)

Not every desktop app these days is an electron monstrosity. Especially not if it's a commercial app.

  IME Electron is more popular among commercial apps.
