A more like comparison with tech is more that there are now steel ibeams but no one at all knows how to design a bridge with an ibeam to maximize its benefit. You get certain alpha build bridges that will be totally unsafe despite using the new technology of the new material. The designs haven’t had a chance to hit their bugs and be iterated out and new bugs are expected to emerge very often. In your example your bridge builder presumably has a mature and stable software build equivalent of a steel ibeam bridge design that is basically going to be the same going forward. That’s more like when people still use cobol for decades because it works than when people are testing out the bleeding edge of software.
