    I mean it did change for a very good reason. Stuff gets hacked because everyone is online always. In “the good old days” it wasn’t a problem because people weren’t really online so there was pretty much zero risk of old software being used to exploit your machine. These days? It’s a liability to have old stuff on your phone because someone could exploit it to steal stuff from a large number of users.
