I don't think you understand how much developer effort is required in maintaining such an old OS. In addition, these same developers need to get paid and since MS is in the business of making money, supporting a SW that massively burn cash (I assume the maintenance is not cheap) is blatantly foolish.

> Why not spend the next 50 years just maintaining Windows 10, just the way it is?

If I understand it correctly, this pretty much is the plan with Win10. It's supposed to be the last Windows OS
