I have an old flatbed scanner that I occasionally use. I bought it in 2003 or 2004. For scanning I use an old 2010 Macbook Pro still running on MacOS X 10.6.8. The scanner software ist written for Power PC, and MacOS X is the last OS that can execute the software. The scanner still works perfectly fine. Some time ago I found out that there is third party software availiable that probably runs on recent macOS installations, but since I refuse to pay for it, I transfer the scanned documents with a thumb drive onto my M1 Macbook Pro. I tried to connect my recent Macbook Pro with my 2010 Macbook Pro via Bluetooth, but I couldn't get them to transfer files between them, although they detect each other in the Bluetooth settings. I suspect that it is a compatibility issue, as there is a huge age gap between both operating systems (∼ 15 years)
