Also, what about Emacs supporting MS DOS and old versions of Windows? Do
they still qualify as popular software?

Microsoft would probably appreciate, if only the latest version were
supported by free software.
best regards, Heinz

Are you implying that dropping support of obsolete non-free software
will encourage users to upgrade to newer versions of the same non-free
software?
Yes

If so, I disagree. It might equally encourage users to switch to newer
and also free equivalent.
You maybe right

Unless there is no free equivalent, which is
not true for Windows or MS DOS, AFAIK.
