I'm not questioning your personal opinion as such. The issue is mainly for
Windows users that are an order of magnitude larger than both Linux and MacOS.
Currently there is no mechanism to ensure they are on a safe and supported
versions of LibreOffice.
They are "orphaned" there is no way even to inform them that LibreOffice is a
potential risk that could compromise their whole system. It is unacceptable to
simply state they should update. Find a way to tell them that then maybe they
might do.
