A well functioning hardware device shouldn't be abandoned by it's manufacturer, despite age

Focusrite (and other companies) won't update the firmware of it's devices, older than 10 years, which in practice makes these unusable, unless you keep a computer with an older operative system. This is difficult or impossible in the long run. Focusrite manufactures digital audio interfaces for music producers etc. A well functioning hardware device should not be abandoned by it's maker by not updating the firmware, and thus forcing the customer to buy a new one. One suggestion would be to have a fee for the upgrade instead.

    Agreed! This is not at all circular and a form of planned obsolescence.
