Windows 11 comes installed on most people’s computers, and among people on this site I’m pretty sure most of us have either had to update for some reason or just auto-updated one day. I don’t know anyone who is skipping Windows 11, given that it takes nontrivial effort to do so.

Conversely, I only know one person on Windows 11, and he just asked another friend for help rolling back to 10 due to how miserable support for his most used applications are.

Much like Windows 8, most people on Windows 11 tend to be the technically-disinclined, which generally are not the userbase of an experimental alternative browser. Thus I too, am understandably baffled at the lack of Windows 10 support.

"it takes nontrivial effort to do so" - not sure I agree. My desktop (high-ish spec when I bought it in 2020) came without TPM 2.0 enabled, which effectively blocks 11. I could probably enable it, but that to me looks like the nontrivial effort.
A lot of people still dislike Windows 11, in no small part because it released in an unfinished state. I think 23H2 has finally made Windows 11 something work upgrading to, but if you're used to Windows 10, you'd never know that
Hmm, I hadn't heard about Dev Drive before, that might actually be mildly interesting.
