@Daimienknight Don't panic! The notice states that the Samsung Members app will end support for devices with Android 8. It probably won't affect many people at all. 

Android 8 was released in 2017. This is only affecting very old devices.

They just want you to update it to the system that will be current after July 1st, that's all.

I think that you are thinking of UI 8, not Android 8.

Not really. They're dropping support for the Members app on an old version of Android. Developers do this all the time. They can't be expected to maintain support for very old versions of an operating system.
