People still hold very dearly the myth they can keep a decent job for a lifetime by becoming an expert in a legacy tech.
The truth is you can find those, but it’s a lottery bet. Not only there are many people skilled on those technologies, but most large companies supposedly learned a lesson or two about managing large system and are more proactive about making easier to maintain system.

One thing you learn pretty quickly is that there is a massive difference between stated intentions and reality. It only takes one dissenting voice to get a big enterprise stuck in the past. Usually far more are available. (and I might even agree that from a business perspective it's usually the right call at some point. Software engineers will rewrite, rewrite, rewrite again and again and again)
