A lot of businesses use Windows Pro on desktops, and per-seat licensing is actually fairly rare. Sometimes OEM Windows licenses are used with leased PCs replaced on a schedule. Sometimes businesses buy licenses in bulk for a certain number of PCs with each installation consuming one license and becoming tied to the hardware once it's activated. Either of these would quality for Windows 10 upgrade.
As for why per-seat licensing is rare, I guess people just like the idea of paying for a piece of software once and being able to use it forever, even if in practice they can't because the hardware gets replaced. And no-one can be bothered doing the cost/benefit analysis to work out whether a per-seat license would be cheaper. You've really got to have multiple PCs per employee and replace them fairly frequently before it becomes worthwhile anyway (at least that was the case last time I checked(.
