Lion ditched all PowerPC legacy code, provided a few new features that didn't work well, and then became the terminal supported OS for the number one selling Mac at the time (the white MacBooks).

It was a step backward in many, many ways.

The 32 bit graphics killed the white macbooks. I'm shocked they were the best selling macs. Maybe the best selling macs of all time most likely to stab you in the wrists with shards of plastic.
This is a too-convenient summary. The 2009 and later MacBooks (5,2, 6,1, 7,1) all can run OS 10.10 and a lot of MacBooks1,1 had already been left at 10.6.8 and didn't even make it to Lion.

I don't know what the sales numbers for each of the Macbooks versions were but roughly half (probably a somewhat fewer) were left behind at Lion. The rest of the newer MacBooks are capable of running OS 10.10 and beyond.
