I think your analysis misses a major issue that has existed with apps
since Windows 3.0. It is not at all uncommon for app developers to
disregard MS specifications, even for Adobe apps. The result is that
while an app may run on the current version of Windows, the next
upgrade/update would cause it to become unreliable or fail completely.

Another issue, though not relevant to this situation, is that some users
who don't understand the changes that a newer Windows OS introduces try
to run older apps on the newer OS and experience problems or failures.

In either case, the problems are not caused by MS, but by those
disregarding published requirements for the OS.

That raises the question; why should developers have to chase their tails if
they have delivered an app, any app, that conforms to current OS specs, only
to have their app functions undermined by a fractional OS update?

That still sounds like a failure on the part of MS. It seems that every Win
update brings fresh issues, from broken printer drivers, to stuff such as
Paul’s PSE 15 issue.

Most developers plan and work on updates for their software in concert with
Beta releases of OS updates/upgrades.
