I am not sure I understand your argument, but if I do, it's silly. When you bought the device, you were probably running Win-98 or Win-XP, or something, and you bought a device that expressly worked with those OSes. If the device stopped working under *those* OSes, then you have a right to complain. However, if a new, different OS comes out ten years later, the expectation that the vendor who sold you the device 10 years ago is obligated to now make it work under this new OS, is at best absurd!
If they want to do it (and probably charge you to update it), that's fine, but why should they be obligated to? I have an old acoustic coupled 300 baud rate modem that I bought 30+ years ago, to communicate with a mainframe computer. Should I expect the company that made it to make sure it's still compatible with Windows 8? I think you can see the silliness of this argument.
