I don't think so, main reason is XP was still heavily backwards compatible to 95, 98, even DOS based software. Many control software for industry only support to XP, because jump to windows 7 was too heavy. If anything supports windows 7, it is really easy to port to windows 10. Main reason is the driver support, because win 7 having new driver architecture.

Windows 10 will be the next "forever stuck" OS, because end of Internet Explorer on it means that there are tens of thousands of industrial software that require IE, and cannot ever be ported to win 11.

Yup, same reason modern games all get ports but some old ones never will. Everything has the same architecture now so it's easy to port an Xbone game to W10 and the new Xboxes.

Already was, ain't it? I think that it was at 2% or something of Steam users until it wasn't supported as of this year.

You aren’t wrong, I was more saying that when XP finally dies completely 7 will be the oldest man still standing

Oh, totally right. I guess I didn't even think that 7's successors are 10/11 as well as 8.
