Every single version of MacOS that comes out, they kick existing users between the legs somehow. Whether it's the drivers, or changing how permissions work, or enforcing signatures on something they didn't used to, or (apparently) dropping 32-bit support altogether. It's pretty clear they don't want developers or advanced users on any of their platforms (iOS, mac, etc), just consumers buying digital media on the apple stores and giving them their 30% commission.
I do very much like Mac. But this sort of thing is the reason I don't download and install whatever the new MacOS the day it comes out. I stay one or two versions behind and at the moment I have High Sierra. I've also had a fair amount of other OS's give bleeding edge users trouble, while I sit back and just enjoy the previous version for a while longer (perhaps 1 or 2 years longer).
The problem is not Apple, they announced the end of 32bit software nearly 2 years ago.
The problem are lazy programmers and software companies who are living in past.
It is like climatic disaster, everybody knows about but no one does something again.
This is why I bought a 16GB computer, to handle incompatibilities with virtual machines (VirtualBox let you use MacOS as client OS), and that become very handy when need to use Linux/Windows develpment. So far I never need (from 2016) to use a MacOS VM, but I was expecting to use it with Catalina, but the comunity made the job
