Why am I still getting Windows 7 updates after the End of Support date?

I'm running a Windows 7 Pro machine in order to support some legacy products. I haven't bought the Extended Support Updates but I've had the following updates after the end of life date (14th January)

15/‎01/‎2020:

  • 2020-01 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB4535102)

  • 2020-01 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4534310)

  • Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - January 2020 (KB890830)

16/‎01/‎2020:

  • 2020-01 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4536952)

I wasn't expecting anything after the 14th. Why are these updates being made available?

All the updates you received were released before Windows 7 ended on January 14th 2020.

  • KB4536952 was released on January 13th 2020.
  • KB4535102 and KB890830 was released on January 9th 2020.

These dates are based on the dates that appear in the Windows Update Catalog.
