And how many websites (shopping sites and such) don't work because you
aren't using even a semi popular browser, how much software that we
download do you have to pass on because it doesn't run, how many tools
don't work? News videos?

A computer is only as useful as the functions it can perform, if all you
need is email and newsgroups well heck I was doing that in 1993 on a 386..
As I remember, NT 3.1 has never had any patches.
