No, because that is the method to use to obtain a compatible app. However, if there isn't one, then you cannot do anything. But not everyone understands that you can get some compatible apps. If you look in the App Store and see that an app requires iOS 8 or above, many people will stop there and not attempt to download and would not find there is a compatible app.
