    I know the source and the idiom. I just don’t know why it’s picked up in popularity recently.

    I also don’t know why its use as an idiom doesn’t quite align with the story. It’s usually used to describe a situation where the threat of destruction isn’t random. For example, in the OP, the danger is the end of support for Win 10, not randomness.
