True. Even today, in what some might call our "disposable society",
there are people who expect their computing equipment to remain useful
for more than a year or so. : )

Apple tends to move faster than some others; and Apple doesn't mind
jettisoning older technologies long before other industry players. But
Apple's not the only one making devices more and more disposable -
that's happening across the board. It's a worrisome trend.

I haven't eaten fast food in years. 

Processed foods are similar in quality, so I avoid them as much as
possible, as well as refined sugars. None of it is good for you.

I use one of the various 68k emulators (Basilisk II, Mini vMac,
Sheepshaver) for that kind of thing, so I can run stuff in Yosemite
without having to boot up another machine. 

I do keep Zippy, my trusty Mac SE/30 plugged in and turned on for
nostalgic benefit, though:
