Interesting, looking around apigee (part of Google) website I see a lot of
words like "Security" or "TLS" and I'm wondering how
this fits with only
supporting outdated operating systems?

Well, it's only a month since CentOS "7.6" was released, and some
of that
month has been taken up with Christmas holidays.

So I would think it is probably not a case of "we won't support
7.6" but rather
that "we haven't yet finished testing it on 7.6".
