When I start ranting about this stuff, it's useful to remember that the 2019 film Parasite was edited by Yang Jin-mo on a mac running Final Cut Pro 7.
Final Cut Pro 7 was released in 2009 and stopped receving updates in 2011, and won't run on versions of Mac OS newer than OS X Yosemite (released in 2014, updates ended in 2017)
That means Jin-Mo was almost certainly using a laptop from 2015 or earlier to edit the 2020 best picture winner.
and, while new codecs and file formats have been released since then, Final Cut Pro 7 running on a 2015 macbook is just as capable of editing in 2026 as it was in 2019.
