It isn't that far off from end of life...
"Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles."

Only 2 years.
Two years goes by fast. The only people getting extended support are enterprise customers. And that gets progressively more expensive until the extended support ends.
It sure does. But if businesses haven't panicked then a home user doesn't need to.
Reviewing and redoing intune policies, deployments, software compatibility testing, driver deployment ,reconfiguring autopilot and testing through the rings is an absolute pain in the arse.
For personal deployments you can deploy within one day. No need to worry about any of the above. So if businesses aren't worried yet neither should regular consumers.
