A big feature for Microsoft is you have to pay them lots of money to still run supported Windows 10. Are you paying Intuit too? Probably not.
I say again this is really a filter against "high support" customers because most of them are not technical and running derelict setups.
That's not a technical reason.
Calls to tech support are by accounting defintion. So that makes it easy to draw the line somewhere, and cut off groups of negative-value customers. Its 2026 and times are tough baby.

Tough even for firms that have regulatory capture in a ~$48 billion market?

I mean, sure; you can come up with some kind of justification to call just about anything "a technical reason".
But there's no genuinely technical reason—one you don't have to twist yourself into pretzels over—that fairly ordinary software, working fine on Win11, would not work on Win10.
