MODERATORS
True, any lost compatibility is usually due to the devs ceasing support and not because of the OS' limitations.
If devs have to actively maintain software to support new versions, I would argue that is not better than how consoles handle backwards compatibility. Especially since games tend to be tend to be treated as finished products that devs stop updating once they move on to their next project.
