I don't think it's resistance to change or disinterest as much as if it's not broke, don't change it, especially to something that will continually annoy you daily. There wasn't this resistance to upgrading Windows from 3 to 3.11 to 95 and then to 98. I guess I'll try Windows 10 while it's free, but with a full working cloned drive of the Windows 7 installation on my main PC in case I hate it so I can just switch back easily.
So many freeware and other programs that worked on XP did not work on vista let alone Win 7 or 8. I regretted the loss of my XP system when it died and miss the video editing software that no longer works on the newer systems... not to mention having to upgrade photoshop as the old version I had which worked on XP did not work on Win7.
