At a manufacturing company I once worked at they had and old windows 98 plugged into an old label printer, and the software wouldn’t work on newer machines so they just had that computer turned on 24/7 ready to print labels.

This is super common. There are still many Windows95/98/XP machines in use in manufacturing environments. The control software often hasn’t been upgraded in ages and the company that made the equipment often doesn‘t exist anymore. But what are you gonna do? Throw away a 10M€ piece of equipment because you’re not getting windows updates anymore?
