Because MS is so good at quickly releasing quality patches for every vulnerability that it's not already a huge target?
Compared to not getting any patches at all? That doesn't seem like a good justification for staying on something EOL.
I stayed on XP until some game I wanted didn't work (by that time, 7 was out), I stayed on 7 until some game I wanted didn't work (by that time, 10 was out). Nothing bad happened to me. I'll take my chances. At least until I find the time to get into Linux, whenever that may be.
