I'd argue it's a bit of both. In my case, I have an iPad 3, which runs iOS 9 compatible apps, but iOS itself doesn't backup the app files, so when various developers pulled their files off the app store for those old iOS versions, I lost access to the old software that did work, which really doesn't make want to buy another iOS device. Less of a problem on mac though.




I guess if it was a paid app I can see the irritation that would cause. Free apps not so much.

In terms of what I'd hypothetically feel entitled to, absolutely, but it only matters because that basic level of control isn't there
