MacOS updates are several per year though. If a fixes found (and the bug considered a high enough priority) it could show up before 2025 is up.

It’s a way to force you to update those apps. They don’t want you on the latest OS and on an old Music or Photos.

		Sure, but I want to be on an older macOS and be given the option to use the latest Music or Photos. For example, I'm probably not going to be upgrading to Tahoe until Sequoia's close to end of support life. I just upgraded to Sequoia last month from Ventura (decided to skip Sonoma since the various anecdotes of Sequoia made it sound like Sonoma-with-AI, with few apps breaking because of some new API change).

It’s more a problem for Macs not supported with OS updates like the 2019 13” models right now.
