Toshiba (direct) was selling business laptops with Win7 (as a customizible option) up 'til last year I think. But I just checked and they're now all Win10.

My company is in the middle of retiring Windows 7 and we are a good way there but not done. Plenty of businesses are still on Windows 7 so we have regression machines and such and each department has at least one Windows 7 machine still around.
You can't just tell people with million dollar contracts to get with the times and upgrade. We still have Windows 7 on SCCM but we don't put production machines out with 7 on them unless they have specific approval.

The companies I work for still use Windows 7.
I support a few systems that still use Windows XP.

They are actively updating things, but there's still quite a ways to go.

I'm guessing that they might have a stockpile of licenses that they bought in bulk, or that there's a way to recycle licenses, or that you can buy them from outfits that did that.
Sort of related: While originally two of my older PCs had OEM licenses, I later upgraded them to Windows 10, and apparently they can be transferred.
