I mean if I had an elevator that occassionaly plunged people to their deaths I'd be past trying to patch the bugs and calling in a completely different elevator company. Also, large monolithic systems get replaced constantly. The projects that get in trouble has more to do with project management and change management, the code is just tangential.

Ha, exactly. "We've been patching bugs in this elevator software for years and people are plunging to their deaths at lower rates than they used to. Give us a couple more decades and we will have this all fixed." I might suggest ripping out the elevator and just putting in some stairs.
