They're not withholding, this is a normal lifecycle for their OS'es (technically this one is already an extended deadline due to covid). The fact that Win10 had a 10 year life is the first time they have done so (LTS builds not withstanding). The amount of vulnerabilities and patching necessary to keep that husk going isn't worth the squeeze to them.

Even Linux builds are lucky to reach 10 years of support on a given kernel.
