While I think we're getting considerably off-topic for this list,
there are real and unfortunate reasons to run old, outdated OS
releases.

In a previous life, our software development firm simply didn't stop
supporting our software packages.  Ever.  As a result, we had to
keep old SunOS, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and HP-UX systems running, as
they were our only method of testing customer issues.

Is this ideal?  No.  Does it follow best practices?  Nope.  But it
was a business requirement, and therefore it happened.
