Fun fact: libgit2, a library made by Github, uses TLS 1.1 on Windows versions earlier than 10. Which means that attempting to access Github via libgit2 on Windows 7 is now broken. https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/5066 …

I kind fo chalk it up to the human factor. Not everyone thinks they need an upgrade ("My computer works why upgrade?!" or enterprise reasons), but it ends up causing problems anyways cause at some point, even with forewarning (1 year in GitHub's case), people still don't upgrade.
This also broke all sorts of things that have nothing to do with Windows version. Mono (e.g. Unity) is the most prominent that comes to mind

Also all versions of .NET except the most recent, and all but the 2 most recent versions of Java.

Either way, my original point was not that they shouldn't have ended TLS 1.1 support. My point was that it's silly for Github to do that when a library *made by them* doesn't specify that it wants TLS 1.2 by default.
