More free OS updates? You can upgrade your PC from Windows 7 to 10 for free (even to 11 if you have TPM2). That will be decades of free updates and upgrades.
True, in that order. Win 7, then 10, which almost doesn’t run because of hardware requirements, then all those Linux distros. You will be busy with installing and configuring these for decades, because it mostly doesn’t just work.
Call me crazy, but I don’t see people rocking laptops from 2008 until this date, I have seen people using Macs from that day using recent macOS versions (with OCLP) and some hardware tweaks like upgrading the RAM or SSD if needed, or replacing the battery.
I happened to sell an old PC recently, from 2010 IIRC. It had a Windows 8 license that could be “upgraded” to Windows 10 which would run fine on this machine until at least 2025.
I think 15 years is quite okay. After that it could still run Linux like forever.
And even though it does cost more at first, it lasts a lot longer and gets lots more free OS updates that most other ones.

Not to mention Linux, FreeBSD, and the like.

But it’s free, if you value your time to nothing.
With all respect, that’s rubbish. I won’t comment on this further.

Heck my Mac is from 2014 and it runs fairly fine.
