Not particularly. Most large enterprise networks rely upon many more layers than the OS to protect and secure their infrastructure.
The cost and logistics involved in replacing legacy systems trumps the need/inability of highly skilled engineers to protect an old OS.

It is still irresponsible. Most actively developed and diligently patched software is bad enough; after EOL it is beyond the pale. The cost needs to be properly internalized so that getting owned really is more expensive than migrating legacy; today I’d have to agree with you that it isn’t.
