Same reason I'm still using a 2010-era fridge and 2011-era printer. "It just works". Personally, the reason I'm using W7 is because I play mostly older games. Although most games "technically ran" when I tried out W10, VSync was broken on W10 for several of them despite being forced on in the GPU driver, strange 30fps caps in games which were never capped before (apparently related to changes in DWM), weird non-performance related stuttering was introduced for several that wasn't there previously, and several games benchmarked slightly slower (due to needing Borderless Windowed vs Exclusive Fullscreen), etc. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to source "noCDs" for older DRM on retail games that if I hadn't have done so, also wouldn't have run under W10. Nor do I care about DX12.Why are you using a 2009 era OS with 2016 hardware?
The bottom line is, people will use what works for them regardless of "The One True Way Of Using Your Computer (tm)" endless forum "lectures", and Windows 7 users still outnumber W10 users by 2:1 despite the obvious sampling bias in "enthusiast 'real' gamer" forums...
