tbf, if it works, it makes sense nobody would bother changing it. Especially if there's no real payback to doing so.

Yes, I'm aware of the irony that here it didn't, but imagine if you wrote software that ran an entire industry for 25 years!

Haha yeah that's fair! But I also don't understand not patching your software over time and maintaining it, if people rely on it. It's a very important part of development, very rarely can software last forever.
