Most wheel alignment software run by car repair shops were written for windows xp or vista, worked great because they are not make/model specific. Around 8 years ago these companies that made these aligner software started using hardware toggles and subscription only practices. hence most garages just kept using their old machines and air gaped them. i imagined most businesses that worry about legacy applications that run only on windows 7 or 8 have done the same. computers work perfectly fine without internet.
