By removing VBScript, Microsoft is breaking the last ties with the past.
Microsoft plans to phase out VBScript support in future versions of Windows after 30 years of use, making it an on-demand feature before removing it from Windows systems.
VBScript (Visual Basic Script or Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is a programming language similar to Visual Basic or Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which was introduced almost 30 years ago, in August 1996.
VBScript is bundled with Internet Explorer (which was discontinued in some versions of Windows 10), integrates active execution into the Windows environment, and communicates with host applications via Windows Script.
Microsoft clarified that VBScript is becoming obsolete, so in future versions of Windows, VBScript will be available as an on-demand feature to ensure smooth use during preparation for VBScript decommissioning.
Features on Demand (FOD) are additional features in Windows, such as .NET Framework (.NetFx3), Hyper-V, and Windows Subsystem for Linux, which are not installed by default, but can be added as needed.

Although this decision was not officially explained by Microsoft, it may be related to the termination of support for Internet Explorer this year. Fortunately, removing VBScript from Windows means removing one of the most common infection vectors used by attackers to deliver malicious loads to Windows systems.
