I like being able to run games from early 2000s. Being able to write software that will still run longer after you're gone used to be a thing. But here we are with linux abandoning things like 'a.out'. Microsoft doesn't have the luxury to presume that it's users can recompile software, fork it, patch it,etc.. When your software doesn't work on the latest Windows, most people blame Microsoft not the software author.

Ok, I prefer to use software which is future compatible, like ZFS, which is 128-bit.

“The file system itself is 128 bit, allowing for 256 quadrillion zettabytes of storage. All metadata is allocated dynamically, so no need exists to preallocate inodes or otherwise limit the scalability of the file system when it is first created. All the algorithms have been written with scalability in mind. Directories can have up to 248 (256 trillion) entries, and no limit exists on the number of file systems or the number of files that can be contained within a file system.”

Don’t want to hit the quadrillion zettabyte limit..
