Let's ignore hardware for a moment then. I upgrade because hardware and the stock software was more of a bonus. How many schools and businesses actually have the latest software? That contradicts your point already. A lot of businesses in still use Windows xp and/or Vista, though 7 and 8 have been available. That's 2-3 generations old! Yet they're still using it.
A a lot of businesses skip generations of Windows like that not because it is not wanted but because its expensive to deploy for one and two sometimes it has to go through a huge approval process. Or other systems and programs that business has itself would have to change with it. The DoD would be one example of not upgrading to every generation
