Money defines the targets, and usually people running old software are thought not to have money. It is a zero sum game that shifts with the technology and ends when technology no longer is the theater where people can make or steal money.
Eh not really true at all with my experience. 100 million dollar industries commonly have old crap running for years that becomes nearly untouchable as staff rotates and everyone gets afraid to touch it.
