Catalina on unsupported Macs

Catalina on unsupported Macs
I decided to try it on my 2009 MacBook Pro 15 inch (model 5,3). I used the DosDude1 patch tool and it was extremely simple. Surprisingly enough everything works. Only issue is that login times are a little slow (like 20-30 seconds even on an SSD). All hardware works though, and I've seen no UI glitches or other problems. iCloud, Facetime, and everything else works. Sleep, trackpad, WLAN, Bluetooth work as well. Ticking the box for the APFS boot patch allows me to use APFS. 

It would appear that Apple's support limitations are completely artificial. Anyone else have an old Mac and want to try this out?
