Code that has lasted, with some maintenance, for 50+ years vs code that doesn't work from day 1? What advances we have made!
They're taking the fail fast approaching to a whole new level.
They're doing a fail immediately and continuously now.
The science of failure!
Don’t forget that a lot of that code has lasted for 50 years cause corporations were too cheap to update/upgrade. Profits > tech debt.
