It's ridiculous us developers still have to jump through hoops to save around older versions of the OS for testing. There is 0 technical reason why Apple can't let us downgrade.

What?
You can do a fresh install of an older macOS version whenever you like (you need to enable that option in the rescue system tho).
You can also run older macOS in a VM (the hypervisor framework keeps getting new features that make guest macOS more fully supported).
Name an OS (ok maybe NixOS) that allows you to do clean downgrades out of the box. Also wonder what's gonna happen to your data in e.g. Postgres if you blindly downgrade.
yeah it feels like they decided bank accounts flush with cash were a better investment than legacy system support
Can someone fill me in on this? What hoops have to be jumped through? The last time I used macs, there were no issues downloading and installing older OS versions, but I have not used them recently.
