It's a matter of expectations, many laptops that old still work decently enough with a refreshed battery. Funnily enough win10 was released 15 ago, and one can still get support for it for at least another 3 years until 2028, even on the customer license.

W10 was released 10 years ago, not 15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_version_history
