Excuse me but I don't see your point.

You have a 6 year old harward that is still working and that's fine,
you are lucky you can turn it on and off again. You don't feel the
need to upgrade because it's working like a charm for you. It's ok.

You know how the computer industry work right ? So when you bought it,
you knew that at some point it will be deprecated. The manufacturer of
your hardware deprecated it years ago and stopped any further
development on it. It's been 2 OS release that Apple removed support
for PPC. And know it won't even accept it for repair. What does it
mean ? It means you are reaching the end cycle of your product.

Since Apple droped PPC Adobe and other companies continued to support
it. As time goes by, support for it started to shrink. It's no time
for Adobe to move on. Why ? Because the technology is also moving
forward. Flash as evolved too, and your hardware might not support it
properly. But it just means that newer flash website won't work,
that's all. And in your initial complain, you mentionned videos. You
are now not limited to flash to whatch videos. And more and more
videos are now in h264 which is very cpu/gpu consuming. Which might
not play properly on your hardware. Are moviemakers evil of producing
h264 1080p quality with high bitrate that my not be read correctly on
older hardware ?

And the crisis as nothing to do with it. You're reaching the end of
life of your product, and it's frustrating. But you can't blame the
industry to drop support of very old (in computer age) hardware to
keep moving on. That's just how it works.
