Even common hardware devices as plain notebooks don't run properly with the "newer" OS. I have one notebook for which the drivers break with anything above Windows 7. I have another which can't be upgraded over Windows 8.1. For both Microsoft's "Get Windows 10" claimed they "will work" with Windows 10 (there were ads running on both which do the "check" before). I've tried the upgrade for both. The Windows 7 one has problems with the WiFi card -- reason: Intel never made newer drivers, the old aren't actually compatible with the newer systems. The Windows 8.1 one has problems with the touchpad: reason: the newer drivers are broken for that model. It also has some display issues on the Windows 10. The WiFi card, the touchpad and the display effectively aren't replaceable. But the computers, apart from not running the newer OS, work without a flaw. If I as a consumer with only a few computers have such problems, I can't see how you don't understand that the whole companies can have immense number of computers that work perfectly with their current OS and would simply break with the newer one. They would not upgrade, but they would install the security updates. But guess what, Microsoft doesn't want to give the security updates to everybody who has Windows XP. Only after this failure they "exceptionally" did it. So Microsoft is absolutely responsible. They can say "we'd prefer to motivate people to buy new" but they are still morally responsible for not releasing updates when there are so many actively used systems.
