Bit of a silly argument.
If someone wants to use Linux they dont need to wait for end of support of win 7 to move.
The bloated things you speak about is also WSL 2.0 that allows you to run linux inside windows without the need for dual boots for example.
Win 10 is by far hundred times more secure then 7 was so its not even a base for comparison.
End of life messages about win 7 have been on for almost 2 + years. If you waited until now to actually act and not use the free license upgrade back when it was relevant, sorry it is kind of your fault. Why on earth would you try to keep win 7 alive until 2023 is beyond me. an OS that almost 11 years old and you want to take it into almost 15 years ?
WSL is not a replacement for Linux, WSL1 disk speed was on par with Windows but lacked a lot of Linux ecosystem commands translation, WSL2 is emulating a Linux Kernel and as such the filesystem is NOT NTFS and so way slower on disk access, that's way WSL2 explorer file integration is made as a netwok shared folder under the hood then there's also the lack of the best Linux goodies like BTRFS snapshots and RAM management that Windows is way way behind Linux Kernel.And for a developer the Linux package manager is a God sent, can't tell the same with WIndows!
not silly at all, many organizations are now facing the fact that there no more support and have to chose between moving to Win10 or look for an alternative, Windows 7 was far less invasive, you could even control when to update, go figure. Win10 aparently will even have ads in the menu. Not everyone is fine with that. There are many reasons to dislike Win10 over Win7, so at the EOL, for many is the little push they needed, the last drop.
People didn't have to wait for the EOL of Win7, many of us didn't but for some was an extra motivation.
Finally Win10 doesn't even run in older PCs that ran Win7.
Not silly at all.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

First and foremost you're entitled to your opinion.
Win 7 served the purpose for which it was chosen by many businesses.
Win10 is not an alternative to many of such.
Why do you think upgrading to win10 was done for free (at least) by Microsoft?
Nobody wants to pay for it, willingly.
At least Microsoft have realised, to some extent, that they can't make much money from selling win10 directly.
WSL is a life saver for win10.

WSL is not installed by default
