Sometime, they can change when they see they are wrong. Something like
15/20 years ago, they abandoned the support of I don't remember which
Windows version, so it became impossible to sell computers with this
version of Windows.

It was the day eeePC came along, the new version of Windows couldn't run
on it, only the old unavailable version could. But the last version of
Ubuntu was running very well. And the eeePC with Ubuntu sold very well
and seeing that Microsoft extended the old version of Windows. That way,
people could buy eeePC with Windows on it.
