Many people stuck with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 because they booted and ran faster than the modern Windows. Plus they rely on software that is 16 bit and cannot be converted and cannot run on 64 Bit Windows.
JRR Martin is one that still uses MS-DOS with WordStar because they are stable and saves his files on a LAN Manager share. He cannot tolerate a blue screen of death or Windows Update reboot fouling up his work. I think he may be better off using Headless Linux and eMacs with the WordStar key bindings emulation https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/emacs/html_node/emacs_467.html https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/emacs/html_node/emacs_46...
