I worked at a place that was running SQL Server 2012 in compatibility mode with an older version. The place had a pretty high turn over rate, so a lot of the expertise is in the existing tech rather than the people. It was hard enough to try convince them to upgrade SQL Server (I wanted to leverage row level security to get away from having a dozen copies of what was essentially the same app, but that required SQL Server 2016) Also, when I brought up postgres for a new project & mentioned it being open source, response was "that means it could vanish any day" Inertia is real
