You ever worked in like a real job? Have you ever seen the amount of legacy code that depends on some other legacy piece of shit which itself depends on...?
It's absolutely maddening, being there, diagnosing the issue and absolutely having no way to do anything about it because no time, not allowed, no need if it ain't broken, our customers rely on this specific version, etc.

It's not a Windows way of thinking, it's what every single one of the businesses I've worked with for the last twenty or so years think like. And changing shit is incredibly expensive.
