but as disturbing as it is, free software does the same thing, force users to upgrade their Windows version.
Except in this case, win9* users have it entirely in their power to control this, in that they can participate in providing that support. Indeed, Inkscape can *only* feasibly support a given platform if it has adequate participation by users of that platform.
That's why the release note's apology should include the bugzilla link, instead of only frustrating users. If there are many really active Win9* users, branching Gtk would be the most logical thing for them.
