Think it's a matter of perspective. Linux for example runs on very old hardware well.
MS Windows just needs more resources in my experience and MS or OEM do not support older hardware anylonger (e.g. drivers, windiws versions). Hence, people got used to buying a new PC every so often so the softwsre they use continues working well.
Apple is kind of a special case as they own hsrdware and software. They control "obselesence".
The case of linux shows that leaner OS are key for performance and efficiency irrespective of the hardware.
Agreed with what you're saying. Just not sure the financial incentive there is for Microsoft, more for the OEMs.

Good point. I think both.
They have developed together and feed of each other.
For sure.
