Mac has gone from PowerPC to Intel to ARM CPU’s. They’ve changed architecture entirely multiple times. That’s a pretty significant factor to their problem with backwards compatibility. Most of the old software on its own just isn’t compatible with the newer hardware.
Windows, on the other hand, has been on consumer x86 hardware (and others) for nearly 40 years.
