I know a lot of organizations do so, but not as a home user.
I have had to do so professionally due to some old yet expensive equipment that only output to software that only runs on 98 or XP, but those machines are not allowed on any networks, not even local ones.
Actually not sure if XP can even use a modern enough browser to access most of the web.
As I said elsewhere, my issue has always been equipment that only communicates with XP, so there is no deleting it, and it really needs to work.
No one when I worked there was willing to try (or let me try) any kind of VM. Mostly do to the proprietary PCI connector card that it used.
