I really love my Synology NAS (DS220+). I don't anticipate needing to replace it anytime soon, but given how well it's treated me, I would almost certainly replace it with a 2024 model instead of a newer one if I had to, given this new limitation.

This decision from them seems short-sighted, I hope they reverse it.
