I think it's mostly job security. I've worked on many technologies that I really enjoyed despite the flaws that every tech has (Flash for example) that have 0 jobs 10 years later.

On the other hand, if you are a COBOL expert today, you will be in high demand and will make enormous amounts of money.

  For a while! Probably a better position for a 55 year old developer to be in than a 25 year old one.

Oh yeah, I agree with that - but that's not job being "interesting", that's just job security. I wrote my comment because I felt some disingenuity in the OP saying that jobs with modern tech stacks are interesting for him. It means that he's either genuinely intersted in following the tech frameworks threadmill, and jobs with modern tech stack allow him to do that - or, he's lying to himself that he's intersting in it, to make getting up for work every day a little bit easier.
