You would not believe how many banks Ive seen still running XP for mission critical apps because they are tied to ie61
Nothing particularly wrong with that, so long as they pay Microsoft enough to keep security updates coming (and if that's cheaper/safer than updating the banks' systems everybody is happy!).

Thats the point certain Commercial games only worked with the latest Windows you couldnt run them or install say dx10 on Xp . Windows 10 has Windows 10 only games . Same with browsers.
I strive to ensure all my BBC BASIC programs run on every version of Windows from 2000, through XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1, to Windows 10. If that means not using the very latest technology, the impact on the appearance or performance of the final program is usually insignificant.
