And yet people don't consider AD to be an dangerous legacy technology on it's own. The enterprise world have a huge problem with it's addiction to legacy Microsoft technology that Microsoft is both aware of but also unable to fully address as their modern stuff just aren't all that competitive without the legacy compatibility. And the "domain controllers" it's at the very core of this problem. In the unix ecosystem most of the old vulnerable legacy(which was never as bad as windowsNT) is actually dying out but for some reason most of the traditional wintel ecosystem seems to be partying like it's still 1999.

Before I made the career switch to pure GNU/Linux, back in my MSP startup days, I made good money ripping out horribly run ADs leftover from the great sysadmin layoffs of the late 2000s. Samba 4 came later and was a godsend. AD and MS in general has stockholm syndromed many people. Really and truly the problem is executives not seeing the value in hiring for their actual IT problem space. Too many companies, especially ones that are more physical and have people who like to proudly claim computer ignorance, refuse to admit that with advances in technology that IT is an integral and vital part of the business. Instead they don't even hire for positions they really need, or if they do, they hire for peanuts and get subpar gui-ninjas... and that's how you end up with a bunch of AD servers on the internet.
