I grabbed this pic when I toured my son's ship when she got back from her last deployment in 2014. That's Windows XP on the right and Windows NT 4.0 Server on the left. Windows NT 4.0 was a contemporary of Windows 95.
That said, one thing the article doesn't mention is that major organizations, and that for sure includes the DoD pay Microsoft for continued support for their older operating systems. That means that they likely still are receiving critical security updates.

NT 4.0 Server and Workstation are two of the most stable Microsoft OS' I have ever worked with. I got my MCSE on NT 4.0. I would still use it today if I had the support for it.

Up until a couple years ago I was still running a Windows 2000 Server but the hardware finally failed.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - That is not entirely accurate. Support for private customers yes. Support for governments and entities willing to pay for extended support, not so much. SSG(P) (Join to see) PO2 Robert Aitchison

Microsoft is Still Making Security Updates for Windows XP, But You Can’t Have Them
Windows XP isn’t dead and buried yet. Microsoft will be creating security updates for XP for years to come, but those updates won’t be available to normal users. No, they’re just for large businesses and governments with money to burn.
