It’s pretty predictable, home users will refuse to upgrade, business will have to for compliance/insurance reasons

Microsoft offered me protection for another year and it didn't cost me nothing. But I read they have a paid tier as well for support.

the paid scam is 30usd for a year of extended updates.

(the first year only, i'm guessing.. if they did it like win7, the price will ramp-up year 2 and again year 3).

How is it a scam? They're offering a service and asking for a price. It's the same thing everywhere in software, if you want longer support you need to pay up.
