Sigh. Yes, Apple is a hardware company and yes, Apple designed their operating systems to take advantage of the faster, more capable hardware. If you have faster, more capable machines, odds are pretty good you want an OS that can take advantage of it.
If you want to keep your 8 year old iPhone or mac, then don't upgrade the operating system. A 32 bit mac with Sierra still works just fine.

But a 32-bit only MAC won't work well once most of the programs and new programs are 64-bit only.
As for old iPhones and old iPads, there will come a point when you can no longer get updates on certain software that you use and new software is a forget it as well.
It is unfair to stop supporting older hardware when the OS will run no bother. It only becomes an issue if the new OS won't work or is too slow.
