Not just cheaper. It's also significantly less risky than trying to rewrite their whole stack.
(Many IBM customers likely are piece-by-piece moving to Linux, which runs fine on the zSeries hardware, with the same blazing fast interconnects for enterprise workloads etc. I would expect the migration off the mainframe hardware will happen only after the gradual software rewrite. Give it a decade or five.)
