“Don’t have to” and “don’t” are different things. I’ve never been in an enterprise environment that kept PCs much beyond their 2/3 year service window.
In fact, they messed up and got consumer hardware once. They EOLd the devices at 6 months when they realized they only got a month of support.

Really depends on the industry I guess…we meet a lot of old XP and Win7 machines when visiting sites. Engineering stations rarely get updated unless the hardwares breaks, and a lot of software used to service the machines/production line from the engineering station often don’t run on a never OS.
