Why the new features in Swift 5.7 needs the latest OS version support?

Discussions about specific technical decisions Apple has made and how they impact the Swift development experience are undoubtedly on-topic for these forums (though they may not always receive the most satisfactory response). Indeed, the topic of the inflexibility of OS upgrades has come up before and I think there's been valuable points raised.

I agree with @itaiferber, though, that generalized grievances and speculation about Apple's company priorities do not seem like a particularly productive topic of discussion.
