That ends up claiming support for old versions. We could easily clean up
something that would break an old version and not notice it because we weren't
actively testing that version.
Consider the recent timer_create. It got past all the CI tests. If Apple had
fixed that area and we didn't test on an old/broken version of macOS we never
would have noticed.
