Because at some point it becomes too expensive to keep pushing updates out to stop all those people that are jumping to make use of any holes in the OS. Remove all hackers and you'll never need to upgrade your OS. Except when you want new/updated functionality.
Nobody is holding a gun to your head that you must buy that new pc and upgrade that OS. If you never go to the internet, you can keep on running XP on that machine from 2010. Just don't expect it to run on that machine from 2016. And even if you do go to the internet, if you don't care about hackers, etc, you'll just go ahead, nobody is stopping you.
