That's an interesting issue. You're talking
about what might be called "forward compatibility",
which is not the same problem as backward
compatibility that George Kerby is dealing with.

To start with this thread has nothing to do with Windows, it has to do
with George Kerby's failure to update a now defunct and unsupported
application, Aperture, when he was given fair warning and the
opportunity to do so.

Where would the "fair warning" appear?

Not where would it appear, where it did appear, starting with this very
NG and the issues Jonas had with his move from Aperture to Lightroom
over a year ago.
Then multiple photography sites, computing sites, including Apple
itself, and Apple/Mac centric News Groups such as comp.sys.mac.system
and comp.sys.mac.apps, and George has participated in those NGs as have
others you might know such as Davoud and our very own nospam.

The woeful news was to be found in dpreview, and many more.

Had

he done so, and had he followed all the
information and warnings concerning the end of life of Aperture, there
would have been little need for this thread, and his final updated
edition would be running without issue on his currently updated OS X.
