    Its the conspiracy of capitalism. If nothing else this is another example of how megacorps have more say in government operations that the entire population.

      It can be, but it’s also an issue of “move fast and break things” doesn’t work in all environments.

      You don’t want your bank to have an oops with your checking account, or your medical records to get messed up because someone didn’t code it well enough. If it works and is stable, there needs to be a demonstrable benefit and a guarantee that it will keep working when moving to a newer system. Usually on a budget of “what do you mean you need a budget, just do it”.
