They know that killing support early makes it easier for people to just buy new hardware, which likely has new windows purchased/included. More money, less effort. And since most environments are locked into the platform, no one gets away.

I'm already moving a lot of hardware to Linux, but I'll be damned if I give MS any more money.

Linux Mint has been a massive upgrade over Windows 10/11 for me. It also still has support for my hardware. Running a 4770k Haswell processor from Intel. Just got forced into buying a new gpu in the form of an RX 6650 from AMD. All together for gaming and general purpose usage Linux is effectively on par with Windows now. Steam have done a lot of work for gamers to make it easier to game on non-windows platforms.
