MacOS software updates are free. The issue is that suddenly Apple decides your perfectly functioning computer is no longer supported, and after that in a matter of 2 years you will no longer find any new software for your OS, and then you have 3 options:
- Buy a new computer.
- Hackintosh it with a dosdude patch to use the latest version of MacOS.
- Just install GNU/LINUX.
This comic is old, Mac major OS updates used to cost money.
Super old. It went to $129 before becoming free. This is like 20yo.
Snow leopard was 30USD!

Why do Mac updates cost money?
They actually used to, until like 10 years ago. This comic is from before then.
Indirectly. Because perfectly well working hardware loses support constantly, long before you would actually need to replace it. Same planned obsolescence via artificially shortened support time frames as Android.
