@vga256 I was annoyed myself when I booted up my old laptop a few days ago and realized I couldn't run one of my apps since the laptop was on Big Sur.
At a minimum, I should at least get it working on Monterey!
In my case I was just aiming to ship fast to see if the apps had legs. Short-term, it's hard to make compatibility a priority, unfortunately, but I'd still like to do it.
