Most issues stand, and fuck Windows generally, but honestly I don’t quite understand the issue with dropping support for older versions of Windows. Linux distros also do this, so much software does this, it’s just not practical or reasonable to manage all your versions of your software forever.
The difference is that each Windows upgrade is objectively worse.
Also, even if it wasn’t, a large number of the people who use Windows don’t continue to do so because they really loved Windows, it’s because they’ve always used Windows and don’t want anything to ever change.
So each EoL kicks their asses off their ledge and they have to make the biggest fuss about it, because that is just what using a computer is for them.
It’s just a mentality thing, and not something they’ll readily put into words because it’s clearly futile and churlish.
I don’t think the issue is dropping support, but the ridiculous requirements to upgrade to Win11, plus the fact that more recent Windows have serious enshittification that means users don’t want to upgrade in the first place.
The bottom of the meme is explicitly calling it out. Those issues are valid, but there’s this shift in blame to the concept of support cycles in general.
I don’t think the bottom of the meme suggests that dropping support for old versions is inherently bad. It’s part of a larger image; in combination with the other screenshots it suggests people being forced to have Recall/other Win11 enshittification.
