How do you leave it in a “functionable state”? Drivers disappear, hardware changes, libraries get updated, os’ update or die off, etc. You’d have to expose the source code to the public at that point and if I was a developer I’d want nothing to do with that market then.

It’s just about not intentionally breaking stuff.
I can still run Blade Runner which came out in 1997 using Wine, things don’t die off that easily when they are not broken on purpose.
Good.
With that attitude, also good.
