EOL for Windows 7 meant end of support. It's not like they could force your OS to update whether you liked it or not, and Microsoft was charging money for the update as well.
The importance of license revenue has changed; Windows 10 was offered at no cost to existing W7 and W8 users. The ability to control user's computers has changed as well, with forced W10 updates.
EOL for Windows 10 can actually mean EOL for any W10 instance that connects to the internet. If you're a W10 user, Microsoft won't have to ask you nicely to update to W11.
