I personally wouldn't recommend obsidian (mentioned at the end of the article), but still, I think the article is worth reading.

It's a great point to be making, though it seems to me part of the answer is to keep a copy of the software with the data files.

I keep a repository of software, relying on my brain to know which apps go with what archived data.

Think I need to revisit how I track things.

Software isn’t reliable because older software typically doesn’t run on newer machines. This is mostly due to changes in libraries that software relies on, but sometimes can also be do changes in the actual architecture of the CPU.
