The two OSes you mentioned are used by less than 10% of the market - 6,49%, according to the link below. Windows 10 is used by 23% of users.

There are many people who consider the older OS versions to be "better" than the latest Windows X. What "better" means is quite subjective - familiarity, stability, privacy, compatibility, etc. I really don't know, because I haven't used Windows in many years.

Finally, there's the "pirates" - hundreds of millions of people who run older versions of Windows, which are easier to crack because they're not as 'cloud-enabled' as Windows X.

But all in all, I agree that it's not such a big of a deal..
