I don't think you quite understand the commercial realities at play here.
So you wouldn't support Windows 7 or OSX - that wouldn't go down particularly well with a reasonable chunk of Sky's customer base.
A simple check of any of the sites out there which publish OS stats (eg statcounter, netmarketshare) show that Windows 7 has at least 4 times the number of users as Windows 10. Why on earth would Sky deliberately exclude the majority of their users by dropping browser support?
Not everyone upgrades to the latest operating system as soon as it's released. This could be for a wide range of reasons - not wanting to learn a new OS, unsupported devices (eg graphics cards, scanners, etc), corporate restrictions, etc.
Where are the BBC Iplayer, BT Sport or Virgin TV Anywhere apps for Windows 10? I can't find any in the app store on my PC. They all seem to consider using a browser is the most appropriate way of supporting the widest range of OS easily and cost effectively.
