I've found that if you want to take advantage of newer, more powerful
hardware (CPU chips, large memory arrays, USB devices, hard drives,
etc.), that you need one of the newer operating systems. Software
writers are understandably reluctant to retrofit hardware support for
newer devices into an obsolete OS.

For most users, the only reason they need that newer faster machine is
to support the new, bloated OS.

Editing video files is about the most CPU intensive thing most people
ever do ... unless they are gamers and gamers usually want their games
to run on the faster hardware with the old OS.

Gamers want the games to run well. Some of the most popular games won't
even run on XP. They need DX10/11.
