Windows 10... From an Apple Guy
I bought a Windows 10 Laptop on the cheap last week from Unclaimed Baggage. I am super impressed with this OS. My 2011 MacBook Pro runs High Sierra and this Windows OS feels much more fresh and easy...

Thanks for agreeing with me. Most Macs built before 2012 cannot run the latest OS. That is what, 6 year old computers that can't run the latest OS. Your 2009 computer probably can't run the current OS. PCs that are 10 years old can run Win10. They may be slow but probably not as Win10 is a faster OS on most computers. Win 7 came out in 2009 (almost 10 years) , so the vast majority of PCs had the free update to Win 10.
As far as 43 % also running Win 7 still yet, it has always been a slow upgrade for businesses to go to a new OS. They maintain a lot of legacy applications that need to be test out on the new OS before they can upgrade. Just to give you an example of how slow companies can be for upgrades, I will tell you about the company I was with in 1996. Do you remember the date issue for the year 2000? A lot of programs forced the year to be 19xx and had to be changed. It took the company I was at 3 years to update and test and install the one change across the entire platform.
Your comparison of 46% Mac users on the current (until now) OS is quite misleading. The vast majority of Mac users are individual not business users. You would think that it would be in the high 80%. The market numbers currently show that Windows (all OSs) at over 88 % while iOS (Mac I guess) is at 8.75 %.
My wife still has Win 7 on her computer because like others have posted here, she doesn't want to learn a new OS. This is funny to me as she uses it for one Word document (or Libre) and the rest is Firefox browser things. I put the Icons on the desktop for her so she never sees the OS. She goes back and forth from my computer to hers without having a clue which OS she is using. Basically, just give her an Icon and she is happy.
By the way, you say that Mfgs have to pay to put Win 10 on their computers. Who do you think pays to have Ios on your Mac. You do in the inflated price of a Mac.
