(It probably partially explains why they aren't offering free updates for XP/Vista users, since these people wouldn't be buying their latest software offerings anyhow.)

As for using older open source software because that is what's packaged for a distribution, I can certainly see how that's frustrating. It is an issue when hardware support is involved, e.g. being calibre, but it is rarely an issue otherwise.
It can be an issue when you want the latest version yet the repository gives you some obsolete version. Linkux can be that way a lot of the time,.
