I've seen a trend of recording studios using ancient computers with versions of Logic from like 2005, with big signs taped to the wall warning against connecting to the internet or installing any updates.
In some ways, the lack of updates can be a feature. I'm sure we've all been frustrated by updates that break our workflows, deprecate useful functionality, or inadvertently degrade performance.
A lot of them are still on Final Cut Pro 7, Soundtrack Pro, Color which don’t work on newer macOS’s. That version of FCP was the last before the magnetic timeline redesign IIRC. Perhaps also the last to work with DV tapes?
This probably builds a brand reputation for the product of being old and shit. While the subscription product is always delivering the newest and best experience to everyone.
