I get your analogy but it's a way larger jump going from Windows to Linux versus McDonald's to Linux. To bring it back to what we were talking about, I think it's more that the switch might end up costing more money and time because realistically, most people are gonna disregard the EOL status because "it still works and I can still use it". Those who do switch are probably those who require or want an upgrade of some form.
