This is exactly how organizations and larger software distributions get stuck on outdated versions of software packages. They are using some feature in the software to glue things together or something, the package drops that support, and they get stuck because they can't make a massive software upgrade happen quickly, or some aspect of that interface is outside their control.
I have seen this so much that its not even something that surprises me. I am not even surprised about the other side of the argument that seems to assume that you can just burn a ton of code or even a ton of hardware just because its no longer the style in vogue these days. And then these people wonder why companies that make 50 year guarantees of software compatibility like IBM are so popular.
