It is often more than just 'made obsolete', updates to other parts of the
OS (that are almost impossible to avoid installing) can make it so those
older products either don't run or run VERY inefficiently.

The Wall Street Journal is paying close attention to the Apple/Epic
lawsuit, it may create some interesting (which far too frequently means
'bad for consumers') case law regarding what 'ownership' means these days.
