Things corporations often don't care about:
• early support for new #Python versions (they prefer to stick close to EOL)
• support for hardware other than brand new amd64/arm64 machines (and especially not for 32-bit systems)
• support for building outside their internal CD workflow
• support for testing outside their internal CI workflow
• *not* vendoring obsolete dependencies
These are just some examples of things that distro developers do, off the top of my head. These things are important too — but they aren't backed by buzzwords and they aren't profitable.
Please consider tossing a coin to your witcher, that's fighting the beasts of Code Rot and Nonportability for you. Or, well, hire them. They need to eat too.
