It didn’t, it’s the backbone of a lot of enterprise companies and organizations that aren’t primarily focused on tech. Like most of the European public sector.

Coincidentally, companies that aren’t tech companies rarely share their tech stacks, because why would they? Technology isn’t what they are selling and IT people are the guys who tell you to reboot every time you call them, even if that’s not really true.
Take the municipality where I work as an example. I manage several software developers, and we’ve build around 400 minor systems and services over the past decade. Last year when I was working on my masters in public administration I discussed our in-house development with one our eight CEOs. This is the guy in charge of efficiency, which is where my digitization department resides, and while he knows me and what my department does in general terms, he was surprised to learn that we develop software ourselves.
It’s different for Netflix and Airbnb, because they are tech companies and I’m fairly certain their CEOs know that they employ actual software developers. ;)
That’s the public sector, but look up Volkswagen, Maersk or similar and notice how they don’t have entries?
