Most of them, not all, avoid serious hacks. There's not major disruption. Plus there's deniability: "people only hack mainframes in movies damnit!" I always thought ancient interface and barrier-to-entry (esp price) added to it given it's hard to otherwise explain hackers ignoring such high value targets. There's at least one that's publishing mainframe hacks now. Blood in the water. More sharks will arrive over time.
