The question highlights various motivations for maintaining High Sierra. Many users rely on it for remote work and prefer its stability over newer versions. Some need compatibility with specific software or workflows that aren't supported in later updates. Others value the customization and features High Sierra offers. Overall, there are clear reasons—both practical and personal—to keep running the older version.

Mojave offers better optimization compared to Sierra and High Sierra, though it doesn't fully meet expectations. However, for apps that fail, the downgrade makes sense. The US DoD continues to rely on Windows XP.

I enjoy Mojave mainly for its dark mode feature. Some older extensions function in Safari 12, though not every one does. Others reported that their 32-bit applications ceased working, which doesn't make sense since Apple didn't make 32-bit compatibility a priority in Mojave.

I've set up dual booting and rely on Mojave for regular tasks, switching to Citrix only when needed. Honestly, I'd love a better client for Citrix!

I was considering this situation in relation to why I started using High Sierra. Modern browsers, Chrome, Opera and Safari no longer support plugins, which caused problems when I tried to launch Citrix Workspace from a Citrix link in Mojave. Then I found Maxthon at http://www.maxthon.com – it worked only in Safari 11, which supports plugins, and suddenly the Citrix app opened! That was awesome.
