The fundamental issue with mainframes is that IBM made ramping up talent on mainframes extremely painful. Sure they run Ubuntu but how does one actually get a mainframe environment to learn on?

Even FPGA's are more accessible to learn. On AWS you can spin up eg; an F1 instance and get a dev environment.
