There are loads of what you could call "classical" sysadmins/application administrator type people around that never started to do automation, cause sometimes there's no need or willingness to do so. Especially in the small-to-medium sized companies, where the business is bread-and-butter type and not anything hightech - they might have some infrastructure and processess for years, can't see the reason to move to cloud, they had the same "IT guy" doing desktops and servers since ever, stuff just works and we don't want changes, etc.. There is a massive amount of IT work being done - work that you, me or any other denizen of HN would probably rate as terrible and smelling of middle ages. But it gets the job done, even if it's being done manually. And some people just don't know any better.
