500 MEELLION PCs still run Windows XP. How did we get here?

What are the copyright/ legal reasons that prevent XP security updates being outsourced from Microsoft ?

100 years time the company won't be around anywise and unless a Windows system is already installed on a machine (hopefully with a system backup on an independent disc) future legacy loving computer users with a fresh disc copy of any Microsoft Window system - if they want to - won't be able to use it. Microsoft won't be around to activate the licence &c. The same goes for the Adobe CS series.
