Visual Studio 2022: suppot for Windows SP1 x64 with ESU

Question

Hello.
According to Visual Studio 2022 requirements it can be installed only on Windows 10 1909 and newer operating systems. Is that a final decision or a subject of change?
Our company recently purshased Extended Security Updates for Windows 7 SP1 x64 on 20 developer PCs (updates till Jan 2023).
Visual Studio 2022 is likely to release at Nov-Dec 2021 and it's very strange that it will not support Windows 7 SP1 x64 with ESU.
Visual Studio 2022 itself is running on the top of .NET Framework which will be supported for a long time.
New IDE will add .NET 6 development support which supports Windows 7 SP1 x64 with ESU
So is there any reason for not to support Windows 7 SP1 x64 with ESU by Visual Studio itself?
Thank you in advance.

UPDATE:
I suggested this feature to Visual Studio Product Team - https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Visual-Studio-2022:-suppot-for-Windows-S/1540175
