You'll likely be able to continue using Windows 10 even after the security updates stop (I really don't imagine a soft bricking situation). Also, this could just be a bluff on Microsoft's part since Windows 11 "sales" are very low and Windows 10 still leads by a wide margin. Microsoft will likely extend this date once it nears as a gambit to increase Windows 11 sales and hardware sales. In short, I'm like 90% sure this is a scare tactic to get people to upgrade.
There are still many, many Windows 7 machines out in the wild and I'd imagine for Windows 10 it'll be no different Microsoft be damned or whatnot.
In other news, my GNU/Linux system is missing this feature and I don't think they'll add it anytime soon.
