Or in future be able to block programs they don’t like or that are modified in a way they don’t like. Or be like android and lock it down so you can’t be admin without losing ability to use applications

They could probably reduce the support needed for drivers that support said older hardware. I would imagine some of those drivers are probably hard to maintain. That’s my guess anyway.
