Minimum runtime support is evaluated periodically based on OS version market share vs. our maintenance burden & potential wins regarding new language and platform features.
Since LibO 6.3 release we can see 10.10 market share has fallen approximately 2 percentage points to 3.18% of macOS versions in use: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/macos/desktop/worldwide
An argument to bump the minimum macOS version based on platform wins might be that 10.11 introduced the Metal API and Skia includes a Metal backend (described in Skia milestone 83 release notes as actively maintained: https://skia.org/user/release/release_notes "MoltenVK support removed. Use Metal backend instead.")
Following the end-of-life schedule of OS vendors does not really make sense for us. Windows 7 still has 19.44% share of Win versions: https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/ (really promising drop from 33.78% last year, though!)
