Will this make any practical difference?
Hopefully.

Apple needs to change its ways.

In contrast, Dell provide detailed downloadable service manuals for their
computers.
It is also often possible to buy spare parts, either direct from Dell or from
places
like eBay.

The BBC need to do some explaining. I have a Samsung TV which used to
support
iPlayer but this capability was removed, apparently at the request of the
BBC, because
its performance was not adequate. I was perfectly happy to accept occasional
crashes in preference to not having it at all. (I know there are other
ways...)

It would be interesting if all software sellers were required to support
Windows 95 and 16MB of RAM.
