Macs only get support for three years now. So you're paying between $1,000 and $53,799 for a computer every three years instead of just updating the operating system in the same period of time.

So yeah, your right... This is inaccurate. It's not $99 any longer, it's starting at $1,000 every major update. If you're outside those three years, too bad. No updates for you, and in a year or less many of your favorite programs will get updates you can no longer ever use again.

Apple machines are supported for like 7-8 years from launch

macOS is only maintained for 3 years (3 generations).

macOS 14 Sonoma just came out, so support for macOS 11 big sur just ended

I think that the oldest system that is still officially supported is the Mac Pro from 2013. So 10 years of support. Likely will not be officially supported next year.

Get your facts straight. Linux fan boyism is lazy and not supported in 2023
