I've seen enough edge cases of "let me run the latest kernel on a Thinkpad T22 for shits" to not understand why to disturb these things unless it frees up a significant amount of space or resources or had some deep bleeding security vuln in them.

That and I wouldn't be surprised if some old VIA integrated systems are still running embedded / industrial applications and would prefer the latest drivers just to maintain the basic security of whatever they are running (eg power plant infrastructure). Seems unnecessary to cut such systems off like that.
