User level: Level 1 (4 points)As a legacylegacy iPad Mini 4 that only has iOS 15.8.8, is there anyway to get older versions of apps like Netflix, Huls, ect., or has Apple forced legacy owner to upgrade?

Apple doews not force anything. Apple does not control what versions of apps are avalable and what iOS versiosn app developers support for their apps. That's entriely up to the app developer.
Netflix requires iOS 18, Hulu requres iOS 16.4.
If you have downloaded these apps on another device with the same Apple Account as the iPad, you may be able to get a compatible version by downloading them from your purchase history.

Otherwise no, there would be no way of getting a compatible version for an 11 year old iPad.
Get a slightly less old iPad and you can download the apps you want.
