Your software collection wasn't "orphaned". Apple and most developers 
did an exceptional job at keeping most of it usable during the past CPU 
changeovers, and all signs point to the Intel to Apple Silicon 
chageover being equally as "smooth".

The change from PowerPC to Intel had Rosetta which translated apps 
on-the-fly. The change from Intel to Apple Silicon will have Rosetta 2 
which translates apps on installation and in some cases on-the-fly.

There was alos the Fat / Universal binaries which allowed apps to run 
on both 68K Macs and PowerPC Macs, and then PowerPC Macs and Intel Macs

All of that means you could still use almost all your old apps until 
you upgraded them. (There are of course always apps that don't work, 
often due to the developers not following Apple's programming rules 
and/or directly accessing the hardware.)

Of course, if you're happy with your current hardware and software 
set-up, then there's no enforced requirement to update at all. I used a 
G3 PowerMac for about 20 years until it died with a motherboard 
failure. I only upgraded it to MacOS X because my useless ISP refused 
to fix issues with their servers that meant MacOS 9 users could no 
longer log onto the internet via dial-up conenctions.
