We slowly remove old platforms, but only if the code specific to these old platforms is annoying to maintain. For example, I wrote the change:

https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a1605d2508af """ Issue #22591: Drop support of MS-DOS Drop support of MS-DOS, especially of the DJGPP compiler (MS-DOS port of GCC). Today is a sad day. Good bye MS-DOS, good bye my friend :'-( """ => http://bugs.python.org/issue22591

Well, MicroPython is ready to take the baton - FreeDOS (that's how they call MS-DOS now) support was added recently: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/commit/64a909ef5113925adef19f275f62473de8ee68c5
