“It just reflects the fact that a lot of businesses would rather stick with what works (WinXP) even if it’s unsupported and wildly insecure.”
LOL! Almost NONE are sticking with XP!
In healthcare, there still exist a number of web based applications which make it difficult to migrate. The situation kind of bites. They are legacy specialty applications, often used by ancillary systems where migrating to the new version is either not possible (Vendor hasn’t written it) or they are charging a boatload of money to transition.
Tell that to the half-dozen businesses and medical offices I know of, such as my optician and an NC-machinist shop among others, that are still using XP-SP3 because their fancy optical scanning and processing equipment, or their NC controlers, or their custom business applications, don't work with any later release.
Nobody is saying it's a huge percentage. Just that Win11 is even smaller, among business users who need something that works, not the "latest and greatest" from Redmond.

Unless they changed it recently, Walmart POS are still running XP.
