I think a large part of it is how most of the machines that could run 7 can run everything after 7 (maybe just need more RAM), but many many MANY machines running XP couldn’t move forward because the CPU or the integrated graphics just couldn’t take it.
My hard drive couldn't take all the background shit in 10, it would literally stutter scanning my files. When I tried to disable the anti-virus and it told me "I'm sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that"
And XP was 32 bit only, it was really an updated version of Win2k, which was really rock solid.
Which kind of supports your point.
XP did have a 64-bit version, but at the time 64-bit wasn't widely used.
