It's little wonder that MS is ending all support for MS 8.1 in 8 months.

Calibre's support of aging OSes is remarkable, and the only "contempt" on display is yours, in attacking the Calibre developers for having acknowledged the reality of the need to move forward.
I don't get the reason to "hang on" to Windows 8. I understand Windows 7 if it's because the hardware isn't up to much and cannot run Windows 10 all that well. But to stick with Windows 7 & Windows 8 just because you can makes no sense.

If you are going to stick with old versions of Windows when you don't have to, don't complain because software you use can no longer be upgraded. You made the choice not to upgrade. Now either upgrade or live with it.
