Based on the logs from rubygems.org in the past 60 days, Ruby versions older than 3.1 account for less than 0.2% of downloads. See https://ui.honeycomb.io/ruby-together/datasets/rubygems.org/result/ms4mhTPGhaJ?vs=hideCompare&cstype_0=tsbar&tab=overview

I've long kept support for old versions even if they were considered end-of-life but only under the assumption people were still actively using those versions in production. Given the rubygems.org stats and similar version support from the likes of much more popular projects such as Nokogiri, let's finally drop support and simplify maintenance.
