It’s not “completely “ false. Otherwise this sentiment wouldn’t exist and .NET 4 would be a nice memory like Windows 2000. Opportunity cost? Sure, but you can’t deny that small teams that just wanted some stuff to please a business itch were able put the shitty code in whatever Win server they had at the time and forget about it. They didn’t have to ask IT to evaluate any installs, it was right there. And today in win 10 servers, that code still runs, returning ugly aspx. We have some equivalent 2.1 stuff laying around and no one wants to go through the trouble of updating that. You’re probably going to say something like “well that’s what you get when you just let your code rot and no one cared to document it and maintain it”. Yes, true, but that’s not the on topic point, one of those constantly comes up in vulnerability reports and one doesn’t.
