I see what you mean, but think of what the app developer and store-approval people would have to go through for _every_ app AND update.
"Does this work to a good standard on this hardware? does this work to a good standard on this iOS version?" There would be a rediculous amount of combinations, and their whole "It just works" ethos will no longer apply, if apps keep on running slowly/crashing because of old combinations.

You can't supply old version numbers (ie, "You've got an iPad 1, so we'll give you v5 of YouTube instead of v8"), because in the updates are security as well as functionailty. You can't expect the average user to jailbreak or install un/signed code either.

I agree it's a bitch that what it could do one day, can't do the next day, but to have that would be at depriment to entire product line.

If people have paid money for an app it is wrong to turn around and say, you can no longer use this app unless you pay for a new iPad
End of.
