I feel it's difficult to keep a version compatible with each hardware or
MacOS version.

Skipping Rosetta code was somehow ok for my still current FMP11 -
although something should have been done at that time to repair .xls
export.

So I do not really expect the old FMP11 to run on a new MacOS (one of
the reasons why I still do stick to MacOS 10.10).

However, building a new FMP which does not run on old MacOS, that's more
annoying. I don't know the reasons. 

It will absolutely prevent me from buying a new FMP version at that
stage, when it is obvious that Apple will jump to a perfectly new
chipset in the future.

Maybe a cloud service will permit to use FMP both on old and new Apple
hardware, even better than the current setup. Maybe a monthly fee will
prove cheaper than a one-time purchase, which will be useless with the
next computer.

But currently FMP will have to prove this guess - and from the former
experience I do not feel that they do mind very much about customers'
satisfaction or well known problems or expectations.
