Another thought I have is, they are doing this to then argue that their new future 32GB Mac is needed for a normal experience and everyone should buy the new one because of more RAM

Apple is good at selling literal shit to customers and make them feel like they are premium.

What a joke we live in

I maybe had a single Ubuntu release that worked out of 6. So it always lastet a year or so. Since Arch Linux, I never really needed to reinstall anything.

I always used an archiso from 2021 and wondered why the script never works. Last time it tried it with a new ISO again, damn was it fast and simpel. I needed to install Arch many times because of new PCs we used as Server

Behind a paywall?
