Or, at least the business needs to recognize that their ending support for Y is literally cutting off potential customers, and affirmatively decide that's good for their business. Ask your company's sales team if they'd be willing to answer 10% of their inbound sales calls with "fuck off, customer" and hang up. I don't think any of them would! But these very same companies think nothing of ending support for 'old' phones or supporting only Chrome browser, or programming for a single OS platform, which is effectively doing the same thing: Telling potential customers to fuck off.
