I wonder how many years until all mainstream websites and web based apps like steam refuse to work because you're os isn't supported by the latest browser version.

As soon as they bake drm checks into the os

I mean they don't need drm if updated requirements can't be met by the host system. Steam stopped officially supporting windows 7 because of some core platform security libraries that is needed for newer versions of chrome just doesn't exist on windows 7 and won't because windows 7 is EOL.
