It’s not really legacy though in the same way that previous versions of Windows have been when they went EOL. Microsoft switched to an “agile” workflow for Windows around 2017, the current version of Windows 10, 22H2, is not quite 3 years old.
Yup, you could skip Vista by using XP until windows 7, and you could skip windows 8 by sticking with windows 7 until 10 came out.
Now they're forcing people to get every version even if they put out a shit version of windows.
Also computers aren't ramping up in hardware performance like they used to so a lot of people who would buy a new computer every so often and the new one would just come with a new version of windows... they aren't doing that any more.
Also there's tarrifs, inflation, and a lot of people just can't afford a new computer. So this is a perfect storm of windows suckiness.
