Mac user: I’ve never once paid for a system update and am wildly confused by this meme.

And hardware support continues for so long I’ve never had a machine be unable to run a new OS before I already needed a new machine (I used my ‘08 MacBook Pro for a solid 10 years no problem).

I feel like some of y’all have never used an Apple machine before.

You had to pay for OS X updates before, but they changed that around 15 years ago. I remember paying I think $60 to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.

They used to charge for OS upgrades about 10 years ago, back when it was still called OSX.
