It was sort of a trick question. To upgrade to Sequoia you need to buy a new Mac because the 2016 MacBook Pro doesn’t support it. The Mac is a license dongle to use MacOS until you’re required to buy a new dongle.
Geez man we have 5 MacBooks, 5 iPhones, 3 Apple TVs, a few iPads and watches. Even a couple iPods still. Not a hater. But Apple makes their money off selling hardware, not the OS. That doesn’t make the OS “free”, because keeping old hardware updated conflicts with their business model. If you buy a Mac you get 6 years out of it and then it becomes unsupported. What everyone else is telling you is that MacOS isn’t free, it’s prepaid, as part of the hardware purchase. Hope that helps.
