Once again, there is no technical reason, it's purely political to force people off an OS they're comfortable with in favour of increasing Win10 adoption statistics. Although at my company we're rolling out Win10 at a reasonable rate, we still run Win7 on many machines (I myself do because I have no need for Win10's 'features'), and if we have older software that won't run on Win10, we could be prevented from upgrading our workstations in future.
What bothers me most about the rampant, furious force behind the Win10 rollout is that Microsoft are pushing it hard not just on end users, but on businesses, traditionally and still Microsoft's largest market. Businesses who've bought into the Microsoft platform and buy large quantities of licenses. The idea of taking away the power and control they have over their platforms is not going to sit well with CTOs all around the world; even Enterprise editions of Win10 have 'features' that you'd think would be consumer-only.
Microsoft are backing themselves into a corner. Something's going to break eventually.
