Anyone arguing for Mobile Me and PowerPC apps is a crazy person.
This is a bizarre list that lacks context. Also, much of this functionality still exists, but it’s been rebranded or moved.
There are some awesome games I grew up playing that I can't run anymore. Like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK5PTq7vXA4
You’d be surprised how much of this stuff has new ports, community ports, or can be run in an emulator.
Here is EV Nova:

That said, IMHO, compatibility from the Apple / Microsoft isn’t what really made this one hard to play. The developer went out of business and turned off some servers that the game needed. It looks like the community had to build off of a cracked copy of the game.
