 Let say that the major part of this list is only different versions of
the same product. I'll try o remember that when you say there are too
many Linux distros.
 

Yes, its effectively versioning, but for older versions to still be on the list is a sign that MS is still actively maintaining these older version (along with the newer).  The support is probably little more than security updates (not new features), because that's good policy and a recognition that user bases don't automatically migrate to newer versions, even when the newer versions are made available at zero cost.
