It means it is only 1/3 evil

You kind of hit on the biggest problem with lack of public transit investments, and I don’t think you even realize it.

On I-66, they added an additional travel lane for 4 miles and it cost $85million. That’s more than $20million PER MILE. And it is only ONE travel lane, not an entire highway. And yet, we accept this as the norm, but god forbid we spend money on public transit. Everyone is up in arms on how our taxes are wasted only when it is public transit. I’m not saying that $1 million bus stop was money well spent, I honestly don’t know. But it still sounds like a better deal than $1 million for 264 feet of travel lane.

… that’s called support

I don’t see that as being the same. And an 8+ year old computer is pretty old. Maybe the latest Mac or windows would work and maybe not, but it’s unrealistic to expect support for something that dated. However, you are still not prevented from using your old computer. You can continue using an older, supported version of Mac or windows or just install Linux. So your analogy breaks down fairly quickly.

A more apt analogy is if the OS manufacturer doesn’t let you use your computer without premium internet access that you must subscribe to through them.
