Re: this MS Throat-Forcing theory, I think MS does want you to use their new stuff, and they implement programs to try to influence people to update.
My Windows 7 machine is trying to make me update to 10, and my Legacy Windows 8 machine keeps trying to "give me a free update to 8.1" - By the use of irritating popups or resource-using permanent taskbar items.
Of course it's my choice to ignore these things, but MS does try to enforce a decision on your part to update. But they are generous with "free" updates lately, so they try to give you an incentive to do it.
