You're no idiot. Quite the contrary. As one who's made a career of technology, especially the bits no one else in the room wanted to know the details of, I can say your advice is the most astute thing I've heard on matter.
I was just about to say the same thing about the price of a movie ticket.
Until now, I had no idea Z3ta disappeared from the app store. I bought that at full price two years ago and never used it much. But I'm lucky I didn't delete it. I'm not sure if Z3ta won't run on iOS 10. But I'm not gonna find out the hard way.
Not much musical hardware matches the iOS format, that has the versatility, portability, endurance, you could take up to the Craggs, enjoying musical creativity while looking down at the world passing by. To me, this, is the investment, in an aging piece of hardware, that being me.
People debate digital vs. analog and all that stuff, but there are really only two major concerns I have with investing too much in iOS:
(1) Performance and U.I. issues with running what is (often) a computer emulation of what would otherwise be a dedicated piece of hardware
(2) Abadonware & the risk of future compatibility issues
Concern (1) is largely defeated by either buying a faster iPad, or finding accessories/MIDI controllers that give you a tactile interaction with the app. In some ways, it's actually superior to a fixed piece of hardware because if I can select from any number of keyboards, pads, and knob sets, and customize them via DIN or USB MIDI.
Concern (2) is always going to be in the back of my mind. Of course, I didn't care about ANY of this stuff 10 years ago (only guitar), so maybe I don't even like any of this stuff 10 years from now. But I find that unlikely. The hope is that most of this will continue to run, even if we have to keep an older iPad around and have it plugged in. Unfortunately, while it seems like you should be able to lock an iPad in time by not updating the iOS, there's a lot of practical reasons why that doesn't really work, or why I'm not actually going to do that.
In 2006, I had a Motorola RAZR as my cell phone and a PalmPilot PDA. The iPhone wasn't even released for another year, I didn't have one of those until 2012. The idea that I would still use a Motorola RAZR or Palm PDA today for...anything...is pretty far fetched given the alternatives I have. Therefore, if I left the iOS ecosystem or if the apps today stopped being updated, it seems unlikely I'd use this stuff 10 years from now.
I have a ProTools TDM system from 1998, a Creamware DSP setup from 2002 and a PowerMac G4 Cube running from SSD - all that stuff is still functional today
Both DSP systems are driven by iPads as Midi controllers and/or recording devices.
The iPad is my favorite 'hardware' replacement, I don't mind keyboards (for a damaged left hand) and consider TC-Data superior to any knob/fader unit.
The talk about obsolence is very, very strange to me...
