They do it to have the newer releases of the software take the best advantage of the latest hardware.
Sounds like typical marketing excuses. Newer hardware usually means faster processors, more CPU cores (for more parallel processing), more and faster RAM, more and faster permanent storage. I don't see anything special in newer hardware which is required to support features of the software. As Frank Soltis himself wrote in his books: The AS/400 (and their successors) is/are software-defined. Not hardware-defined.
No, they do not do it out of vindictiveness, but to peddle new iron. Iron and support for the iron is what generates revenue for IBM. Mind the M in their name. IBM is just another company trying to maximize profit to satisfy stock analysts, and shareholders.
(Vindictively is what they do with their aftercharges when you opt out of a service contract.)
Please note that I don't want to offend you in a personal way.
