Microsoft did. Why don't we?

Hardware. Windows 9X is the main choice for old machines (like 64MB ram). Don't take that away without need.

Why would you need to run Emacs 24 on hardware that old? Wouldn't Emacs 21, 22.3 or 23.2 suffice for your use case or until you upgrade your hardware?

The need is in my opinion a growing pain in the rear-end to support this backwards compatibility.
