Is #apple purposely breaking older laptops?

I have a 2018 Macbook Air that I factory reset through the internet recovery. It formatted the drive and installed MacOS 10.15 and rebooted.

On reboot, setting up the account let me log into my Apple account, but then I could not accept the TOS, no matter what I did.

It seems this is a common issue where there is a "communication issue" with apple's servers.

Seems that Apple is purposely adding friction to use "older" machines.

What do you think?
