Why can't I log into my Apple ID with MacBook Air?

Why can't I log into my Apple ID even thought im running iOS 16.2 on it. it states "Can’t Use Your Apple ID on This Device"

Your Apple ID can only be used on devices running iOS 16.2 or later, or macOS 13.1 or later. This MacBook Air can't be updated to the latest software.

Let me summarize all of this in to one simple reason why all this is going on. Greedy companies like Apple is not satisfied with you buying their products, they want to use that very same device you paid for to benefit from you as long as you own it weter forsing you to keep on upgrading your iCloud account (they say its your data you can have it when ever you want! its a lie almost every time something magical ill happened your attempt to getting your data will fail but it will be available at iCloud

, cuntennue paying for your iCloud. When you turn advanced scutity option on your data gets encrypted only you can access to it they cannot, although your secret key is stored in that same place, but accordingp to App, they can’t access OK, so in that case they cannot make money off of your computer use because excess money s not allowed to them ( i believe they still do n a deferent way so there is no trace back to them. and this makes their making money with your information get harder for them, their idea of fighting back with this esue is giving hard time much as possible with advanced security so user turns that of and hands over the key to apple one of the most greedy and always hungry wolf. only solution to this is move away from this monopoly they sucked you in to. They have way to much control over an item you paid for and we all know they are not cheap either.
