They could've easily continue going the Catalina way (you can allow 32-bit programs to run after a warning if upgraded from an older OS), but they didn't. I don't understand why they forced 64-bit on Big Sur, it breaks so many old, non-updated apps and they know that.

they have a history of Thinking Differently about backwards compatibility. it’s just like the headphone jack all over again
