Retro-compatibility is one of the reasons that Windows is still used in industry.

Not just industry. Linux has been my daily driver OS for ~20 years now, but I just installed windows 10 on an old laptop so I could run some old music production-related software on it, such as editors for the Virus TI and Nord Modular synths that stopped working on MacOS years ago. (And of course, has never been available on Linux outside of Wine/VMs).
