Problem being is backwards compatibility, what were expensive programs when new now wont always work with "new" versions of windows.
Software, so many "old" versions of things such as Word and Excel across the world we can generally still send files between us but when new versions of those and similar programs come out and people spend money on them, not always because they need the new features, then there may again be backwards compatibility.

I did a project in Excel years ago. Had to convert it to an old version, do what I wanted and then convert back to the new version all because the new version did not have the facility the old version had.

That's what happened to my older desktop PC's that I used for DAW music recording, all above board expensive software.
How long would it before security issues become a problem if you didn't upgrade to the new Win 11.
