Also for integrations with other, often older, systems.

  The argument is transitive - why are these other systems limiting the password length?

    Because they're older?

      I've was integrating with an application recently where some of the header file copyright dates are in the '80. Sometimes there are _very_ old but business critical systems that everybody knows need replacing, but which "just work" and for which the risk and/or opportunity cost of replacing the old system is so high it's not been done. (This application has had three failed rewrite/replace projects over the last 10 years. They're now onto their fourth one, and they're running 32 months over deadline on a "2 year" project timeline...)
