So, you clearly don't know me and a couple of other retrocomputing  
fans in the Mac-corner of the computing world. Besides that, what do  
you want to implicate with your statement? Everyone is not the same.

Don't guess. Know. Thanks.
You also were wrong with your guess that there were no Machines out  
there (in business) with older Systems than OS X.

The fact that one day I might have a new client with a newer OS which  
will not work anymore with Netatalk 2.2.
The fact that api-changes in the kernel prevent even building older  
netatalk releases on new linuxes.
Bugs which got fixed in the meantime.
To name a few.
