Why do so many of you install Catalina, knowing how ZERO older/32bit apps work on it? Why not Mojave?

Cool. No need to be angry. I'm not the dev of those apps. I just happen to still use many of them. I don't have gobs of money to spend on new licenses for the new apps, either.

Beyond that, as someone rightly stated: It also means 95% of Steam games will no longer work. Should we be angry that the devs of GTA4 or NFS games that were originally made 5-10 years ago are "lazy"? Pretty sure even GTA5 needed an update to 64-bit recently.

Folks paid premium prices for some of the software that will no longer run in Catalina. Microsoft kept legacy code in Windows 10 so that older apps could still run. It's possible to do that for macOS, but they chose not to. Hell, Microsoft still has code in Windows 10 from the XP days. While I will agree that leaving that code means more holes for bad actors to use to penetrate systems, it has also meant millions of folks can still play games or open older apps they own far past their original date.
