5.12.5 can't run on it. It would require a rewritten kernel.

It's not "difficult" it just takes time and lots of testing.

5.12.5 isn't available because it's not worth spending that much money on software engineers to bring it to the pw3

I would rather them focus all development power on current gen devices and future releases. I think 99% of people agree.
You cannot prove that more people use the PW4 then the PW3 and you cannot prove that 5.12.5 would take considerable rewriting for the PW3.

Besides, this is not how you keep customers. Also, Amazon is selling refurbished PW3. Why sell something that's no longer supported?
