There are a lot of reasons to not want to upgrade to Windows 10 or 11, so it's likely those people who defiantly choose not to move on. In the case of Windows 11, it also requires newer hardware just for TPM support.

I could not upgrade from 7 to 11 because the hardware was bad, yes. I did try to upgrade before this also, but it also didn't want to upgrade to 8? Or maybe it was 10. I forget why it refused to do those two systems though.
