Users are lazy and if you don't force them to update, they won't. Then they get owned. Then they talk shit about you.
Why not make the world a better place, push the updates hard, and just jump to the shit talking? ;)

But that is not a valid excuse to force major version upgrade like win8 => win10. It has little to do with security and it forces a different environment onto the user.
It does when you start to talk about unsupported versions.
If you wanna talk about unsupported stuff, talk about the printer drivers that do not exist on the new OS version.
South Park Studios still uses an image compositor called Shake. It's cross platform (OSX, Windows, Linux) and Apple stopped development in 2008, but they still use Shake to make new episodes. There's a good chance it won't run on the latest version of the operating system, but they've made a huge investment in software and hardware that works fine. Forcing and update would shut down production.
Why? These companies do put in work to try and maintain compatibility.

Sure. and that bridge over there will work fine for forever too, so lets ignore any maintenance or safety upgrades. IT Infrastructure is still infrastructure. Admittedly when you are talking about a TV show it's not exactly critical.
+ it's still possible to deactivate the updates but you have to dig a little deeper to do it.
