While that's absolutely correct, you're arguing with a strawman. Take a look at the original quote:

   > I can still use my 12 year old MacBook Air. It’s not super current and not all apps work, but it’s actually still a decent Apple experience.

You might be able to do that in Windows, if you bypass TPM and CPU requirements or if you stay with Windows 10 extended updates.

You won't be able to in macOS without OpenCore Legacy Patcher and a lot of faith in your God of choice.
