The support you're paying for is security updates against 0-day attacks. Once you stop receiving those then your machine becomes open season for botnets

By definition no support protects you from a zero day attack, A one day attack? sure if the supporting org is on their toes. Most of the time it will be weeks to months. if it is patched at all.

That is pure FUD. Machines behind a firewall are not going to be affected at all.
