I wonder how many "users rejecting Windows 11" are people who refuse to replace perfectly good hardware just because it doesn't meet Windows 11's arbitrary requirements.
that's probably most the holdouts left. the absolute brutal persistence of 'upgrade' offers and win10 doomsday warnings on eligible hardware got most users to do it, even if they didn't really want to.
