What do you think about Apple´s planned obsolescence on Mac OS 9 and PowerPC?

Clearly Steve Jobs didn't want to "fight" with "System 7" legacy for a better future for his NeXT Step OS, and wanted some time to port (with some success) to PowerPC his 1996 Intel NeXT Step OS.

On the other side, I see my G4s as The Centennial Light. Quality-wise, new/other computers do not last so long...

No. Mac Os 9 haven't planned obsolescence. and that's why S. Jobs had  to kill it using other methods.

... and wanted some time to port (with some success) to PowerPC his 1996 Intel NeXT Step OS.

Just to note: NeXTStep was originally 68k code.

Yeah, but just before Apple bought it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP#Release_history
