Legacy software warning

Question

Legacy software warning

It's nice to know that there is a legacy system extension in use. And its nice to be requested to talk to the developer of the software that uses this extension. But then there isn't a clue given in the message about which software loaded the extension. It seems like the message is incomplete and leaves the operator incapable of taking the desired action. I am running Parallels with High Sierra on a system that is running Catalina. So I don't know if this warning message is related to High Sierra or Catalina.

The diagnostic is new to macOS Catalina, and concerning a feature deprecation arriving with macOS Big Sur.

There’s nothing you can do with the app, other than remove the app, or update the app. If the developer doesn’t have a fix by now, those app things’ll stop working with Big Sur this fall (Northern Hemisphere).
