Pretty sure Windows has more legacy components than Linux just because no nerds are updating it in their free time

Windows has a lot of legacy components, because there's this Fortune 500 corporation which still depends on it in 2023. Say what you want about Windows, but its backwards compatibility is unmatched. Windows also had 32-bit x86 CPU support until Windows 10, meaning that it could still run some 16-bit Windows 3.0 apps.
