I don't think the money is the problem. Because one can always do a shadow or A/B deployment.

I bet it is to do with unreliability of migrations and the general fact that new tech is a bit jank.

Also: The newer, the more complex, the more complex the more open to attacks, the more open to attacks the more vulnerable. I'd choose this approach too. Basically unhackable with totally no backdoors. If it works, don't fix it.
