I live in the enterprise software sector, and you don't know much problem it cause this. Because X is old and not updated, in must(? who knows but nobody dare to check) run in OLD OS, with OLD rmdbs, with OLD runtimes with OLD ssl libraries, etc, etc.
So, you come along with a neat solution to their problems, and you face the fact you must "downgrade" everything to compile/ship: Your lang, drivers, third-party deps, etc. And then you must hunt down the docs for all that!
THIS is the reason a lot of companies use old internet explorer/old windows/old linux. Because X not dare to break!

The silver line here is the advent of virtual machines and now docker. Moving forward, run in docker (or similar) is the ay to go for isolated that pesky dips that live in the old era.
But, sadly, docker don't run in that OS, because that pesky OLD deps need it!
