I mean, great.
As long as you disconnect your devices, never install anything, and also don't use the batteries, ever, you can accomplish that.
Otherwise, that's a really silly expectation. Your device is connected to the Internet. The Web has gotten more complex. Sites have gotten slower to load. Apps have gained new functionality. Your batteries wear down. Technologies get added. Other technologies get deprecated.
The world of computers moves at a breathtaking pace. That's both a blessing and a curse. And there's nothing Apple can do about it. You want a 2010 computer to work the same as on day one? Good luck with that.
Hilarious. The only thing I don't have are NEW EMOJIS which I do NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS PERFECTLY. ALL MY APPS ARE STILL UP TO DATE SINCE DEVELOPERS HAVEN'T BEEN FORCED INTO BLOCKING OFF OLDER iOS.
The ONLY app that has ANY issues is youtube, RIGHT AFTER AN UPDATE features are broken that worked perfectly right before the update, but that's just normal google imitating apple. Lets add features NO ONE WANTED, and "fix" features people use by adding bugs to them! Yeah! Epic, lets add forced youtube music pop ups, and make playlists randomly pause waiting for your interaction with the phone, so your battery doesn't drain playing youtube when you dropped dead from a heart attack.
I never said I want my 2010s to run like BRAND NEW MODERN computers, They will never keep up with my 6 core i7 ROG, but, I do want them to work as well as they did BEFORE an OS update that artificially cripples them. I want them to be responsive like they were BEFORE an update. Its not just the boot times ( which have been solved above and elsewhere) its things like preview lagging, scrolling in any web browser lagging, long load times for files to generate preview thumbnails, all things that worked perfectly quick and smooth before the crippling in newer osx happened.
My mba 11" late 2010 1.6ghz 4gb 128ssd runs circles around my mbp mid 2010 2.66ghz 16gb 1th ssd. It exibits zero of the lag that the 13" does. The difference is that the mba has 10.9, the mbp has 10.13. When the 13" was on 10.9, it was butter smooth as well. 10.10 is where suddenly my 13" could no longer keep up with simple mundane tasks like file preview.
So, kiddo, how is it that a computer with half the specs runs circles around a much faster computer with decked out specs???? I know, my 13" MUST be broken! That's the ONLY explanation! Unfortunately for you, I happen to own 3 identical mbas, so I installed 10.13 on another. MOLASSES. became unusable. I even swapped the ssd into my 10.9 machine to eliminate the fact that all my computers "must be broken" and guess what? It wasn't pleasant to use.
CC 2019 and my favorite software runs JUST FINE under 10.9, so I can work on the go without lugging around a brick.
Your arrogance is hilarious. I was building computers before you were even born. My power mac dual g4 was modded to the point where it could run Prey, an xbox 360 port, in full resolution, with high to max settings at over 60fps in 10.5.... Funny, that computer was 10 years old when Prey came out with G5s recommended as minimum specs.
You are mentioning things that have zero relevance on performance. Battery life? The battery in my iphone 6s+ is degraded to 70% of its initial value, yeah, i know how to check those stats, imagine that... and has had ZERO impact on the phone's performance. You know why? I AM ON AN IOS VERSION THAT DIDN'T HAVE APPLE's BATTERY PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT. Its as quick at 10% battery as it is fully charged, with a degraded battery.
Apps haven't added ANY load. What has ACTUALLY happened is that programmers got LAZY and started to program with insane overheads in modern ram and cpu. Why make light code that is easy to execute when you can just poo out whatever crap you want and depend on core i7s and 32gb of ram to run at 100% to crunch it out, looking at you, Youtube and google chrome.
That reminds me, I have the perfect new "app" for you, its called Bonzai Buddy! You should totally download it! zomgs
I hope you have $5999 for a new mac pro, you're gonna need it with Catalina and Emoji update 3!

These aren't the days of the Commodore 64. There hasn't been ANY significant overhaul of architecture between a C2D and a core i7 that renders the C2D obsolete in basic tasks. As a "computer expert", you should be well aware of that.
