There is a difference between ongoing support and security fixes support. Oracle database dropped support itanium on Linux since version 11. I suggest others did this as well. Of course companies wanted to extend their HW lifetime as much as possible and switch from everyday production use to some secondary functions.

They don'w own this bitcoin wallet of course. They need receipt to attribute payment to them and get comission. They verify transaction and get into the loop.
Basically, having infinite budget you can send any gift you can imagine to your friend via Amazon at day-1 and cancel irrelevant orders at day-0 except correct one to make your friend happy at his BD, which is day+1. Make better future correcting your past decisions based on today information. Now the question is: how to get enough money?

I had an Android programmer, who was eager to write clean code following GOF patterns, OP and the rest of the fancy things senior developers usually do.
Ended up Android team with 3 devs required 3x time to develop same feature compared to single iOS engineer.
