Taking a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7, Windows 7 (released in 2009) is now only "eligible for the Extended Security Updates service. This service is available via OEMs, in yearly installments. Security updates are available for the operating system until at most January 10, 2023 only for Professional and Enterprise volume licensed editions" What about asking Windows 8 or rather Windows 10 as prerequisite for future LO 7.2.0 Windows version? (benefit: not wasting time on an obsolete system if not in dev part in QA part for example)
Sadly I don't see it as realistic. Look at the market share between Win versions: https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/
Let's revisit the topic in January 2023. If the downward trend continues at the same rate, Win 7 might have a small enough market share by then to justify dropping support.
