Windows has a Compatibility Mode with is unmatched by any Operating System maker. I've got Windows 10 running Visual FoxPro 3.0 from 1995 and Visual Basic 5. Try that on macOS or any linux system with any application with a GUI from source or binaries.

Try to run anything from Windows Runtime tooling introduced alongside Windows 8 on latest Windows 11. Or better yet, Windows Phone 7.
