That's fucked. Normally I can coax just about any windows app to run on even windows 11, and I have to because sometimes I interact with ancient industrial machines with monolithic Configurator apps that need a serial connection and a bunch of weird custom commands that was last used in 1998. I'd be boned without them.

Afaik, Microsoft made it a core principle to not break backward compatibility. Something that mattered to a lot of enterprise users. Applications made in Windows XP era, still work today on Win 11.
