I've never even used 10 and I can tell you some of the complaints about it:

* bad driver support

* invasive telemetry

* missing accounts/files after upgrading

* slow, wonky UI

These are well known problems even to me.

I personally don't think 7 was "good", but it was tolerable. A lot of people clearly don't want 10, but are being tricked into installing it. Why not just extend the product people are happy with?

For drivers you should blame your OEM instead of pretending that MS completely ignored them when rolling this out.

AFAIK the telemetry has mostly been backported.

I don't really know about the missing files, but it's certainly been a common complaint across all new windows releases. Usually the cause has been user error.

I personally find the windows 10 UI to be a significant improvement.

And that is how you end up with another XP fiasco.

Your purposely ignoring my point though: People have a working product. Why push them to a non-working product, when they clearly don't want it?

Maintain the current product, take the time to make the product work, and make it appealing to them, then you won't have to push them.
