They made a decision to cut the compatibility but also made the 32bit XP mode VM ship with windows for a transition period (unsure if it's still available). I think it feels like a fair compromise (assuming the VM only causes an overhead for those who need it, but having a whole kernel subsystem for legacy apps might mean security or performance issues for all users)
