Nobody should be using old versions of Windows that no longer get security updates. Either switch to Linux and install all of the latest security updates, or enable the coming year of security updates on Windows 10, or run Windows 11.
Agree for a main computer but there's no risk when using Windows 7 or XP on an offline machine.
If it were offline machines, then they wouldn't be on these statistics
Fair point, I guess some people might want to do that to play old games or something like that.
