The Google play store has version limits. A sideloaded app will almost always work

Backwards compatibility is a double-edged sword. It's cool that you can run an apk from 10 years ago but there should be a point where you say that's enough and drop support from them. Looking at Windows.
I learned the other day that thats the reason you cannot make a folder named CON on windows. Dates back to pre DOS era.

most of the time? yes.
some apps do actually break with newer android versions though. It's gotten a little better and happened less often after the big step to Android 4 (okay… that is itself more than 10 years ago)
but it can and does still happen sometimes

Everybody used a blackberry once... Being loyal to a brand gets you left behind.
