It may not be fair but Avid has to look at the costs of doing what you want. And they decided it wasn't worth it.
There's nothing that says you need to use the new stuff in the current PT version. You could ignore freeze and commit and VCA faders but think how much better that could make your workflow.
If you really needed to keep your OSX up to date you could have done what I and other users do and that is to have more than one boot partition on your system drive. Have PT on say OSX 10.10.5 and everything else on the HS partition. Save for Logic I don't know of any music s/w that needs HS.
Doing the OSX 'upgrade' like you did is NOT the way to go as in-situ OSX upgrades can lead to all kinds of incompatibilities as can using Migration Assassin. My guess is you probably have other music s/w that's giving you issues and not just PT.

I know you're not supposed to update the OS without checking but I just don't use Pro Tools enough to tiptoe around it. I don't think it's unreasonable for software companies to support their products for 5 years. Technically if you bought 11 and Apple update their OS 53 weeks later which breaks something and Avid have moved on to 12 you're screwed. It's not good enough and why can't they keep some low key development going and charge me $30 to keep it running? I guess it may damage their sales of future versions but that's another story.
No, I don't need track freeze and all that bollocks. PT is already bloated with so much clutter and features that get in the way of music. I prefered PT when it was version 6 and white lol.
I recently invested in a Zoom live track for my recording, sick of computers and screen, I just use the daw for mixing now. Mixbus cost me $19!
