Very interesting ...

A better analogy though is if Lego stopped making and selling the plain
building blocks, and only sold the pieces that make up the Star Wars fleet.

And to top it off, they changed the size of the connectors on the blocks to
be incompatible with the old blocks.

You have to throw away your old collection since it is not interoperable.
