"Obsolete" iPod Shuffle

Apple officially classifies my otherwise perfectly functional iPod Shuffle as "Obsolete." I assume this is why my 10-yo Macbook Pro will not recognize the device. What is the company's justification for writing software that no longer recognizes the device? Is there a work around?

MacBook Pro 13", OS X 10.11
