Argumentation on the basis of a tu quoque fallacy doesn't really add much to the dicussion. Depreciating potentialy dangerous and definitely obsolete protocols does not make you a hypocrite.
Then how about privilege?
If someone is living in a less-privileged situation (oppressive regime, state controlled ISP, extreme poverty, whatever) there's also a good chance that such people may not able to acquire newer/updated technology easily, perhaps not even legally at great risk. I will disagree with anyone's assertion that people in such conditions deserve to be disenfranchised.
I’m not entirely sure an argument based on privilege applies cleanly here. There are freely supported (open source) TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3 implementations available for download - at no cost - that run on commodity hardware, even as old as i386 cpu chips. Kind regards, Job
