I don't agree, 24 isn't that old. Perhaps you use Microsoft Windows?
Those of us using *nix derivatives are in a different situation.
Upgrading is risky. If you use GNU/Linux (or whatever you call it) it
makes sense to stick with one distribution (I use Xubuntu). It makes
sense not to upgrade too regularly. Compiling Emacs is a non-starter
because there are too many build options and nobody understands them
except distro builders and the Emacs maintainers. Unfortunately, that
means not upgrading Emacs.
I use Emacs 25.2 at work on MS Windows. At home I use Emacs 24.5. I will
continue to use it until I have to upgrade Ubuntu.
I consider this worthwhile because owning and updating a MS Windows
machine would be much more troublesome and expensive. That applies
whatever you think about software licensing. However, for Emacs it
means using older versions.
