Ironically, I was just about to order a MacBook Pro 2019 today because I'm still running Catalina (10.15.7) and have no plans to update it.
Perhaps I will sound old-fashioned, but I've had macOS since the beginning of Mac OS X, roughly since 2000, and it has always brought a feeling of a stable system until these changes. This feels quite unfair after 20 years of loyalty and buying apple products. I started my graceful upgrade (downgrade) to Debian, but unfortunately it lacks a reliable email application.
I use an even older Macbook and an even older macOS. Of course, the browsers no longer work with the latest JS, so occasionally when I need to use some webapp I boot up a Linux VM and do what I need to do. With limited RAM even that's a pain, but it works for now.
