Windows 7 has reached end of life. New software, like gaming clients, really should not support it as no security updates to Windows 7 would mean the system is prone to malware etc. which can be used to hack EA accounts. I would not be too optimistic about this "bug" being a priority.
EA dropped XP support for Origin only 3 years ago. And very small amount used XP in 2013 already.
It will be extremely stupid to drop Win7 support already, especially since 1/5-1/4 of gamers still use Win7.
I have the same problem on Win7. No problems installing on Win10.

JFYI - The latest Steam Hardware survey says 5% and quickly going down + I would imagine the %age is even lower on Origin.

Windows 7 64bit may only be 5% on Steam but interestingly enough, its still the second most used operating system. Meaning its used significantly more than any MacOs version, Linux distro, Windows 8.1, and even Windows 10 32 bit.

I don't get why clients cut XP/Vista before they cut x86. There's probably more modern games that run on Vista x64 than 7 x86.

And your mistake is looking at steam survey, it is not a demonstration of market share, it is a demonstration of what has been used with new steam installs.
Windows 7's installation base is still 15-20%
The fix is probably as simple as this
