I would agree for commercial, well-funded enterprises. The situation
is much different for funding-starved education, i.e. schools and
universities, where Win10 32bit is squatting cheap computers in the
*millions*. For example the schools in Paris alone have 22000 active
Win10 32bit licenses in 2022 (last time this was counted).
