Specifying an EOL date does not stop people from continuing to run 7.4.
They can set their own time lines to get off the release. They can also
pay someone to update the back branch if it is that important to them.

December 31st is plenty of time. This isn't closed source where with the
big O says no more updates, you are completely hosed.
