Because Windows 10 support eventually ends, and because of the proprietary nature of the software, independent individuals can't patch their own computer like an official Windows Update can. So those individuals who keep using a W10 machine beyond the end of extended support will be vulnerable to any number of threats if their machine is not air gapped.

At least for older versions, there have been plenty of unofficial patches for various things, and many of those are open-source too. Patching binaries has been a long tradition in the DOS/Windows world, going back decades.
