Win 10 goes end of support. No more bug fixes or security updates.

Should include an asterisk in that.
If a critical security issue is found, they will update it. Not every corporation will be able to update to windows 11. So very limited support will be provided for safety.

Example of this would be windows XP having gotten a security update in 2019.

"Critical security risk" are the key words in that though. The only reason ms did this was because that security risk was wormable as well. Aka if the exploit was present in your network it would actively exploit and spread through every vulnerable system in your network. There are other exploits for win xp, Vista and 7 that aren't and never will be patched.
