I know people who have "upgraded" their cars 5 times in that same period. Given the pervasiveness of cyber attacks, the threat of ransomware, and the widespread use of the OS, maybe your idea of "angst" is better defined as "inconvenience"? I drive cars into the ground. I'm still on an iPhone 7. So I get that no one likes to abandon tech before they're done wearing it out. But progress happens for a reason, and the cost of maintaining older tech involves not just support but the cost of vulnerability. That said, I've not had to pay for a macOS upgrade in 9 years and I've done a number of them.</blockquote>
