They're not "taking advantage" of IE6 any more than the financial industry and the Social Security Administration are taking advantage of COBOL. It's simply that the software exists and has been coded and tested against IE6. For a company as large as Sprint (and many other like them), the cost to refactor or rewrite huge swaths of their codebase are extremely prohibitive.
The benefit of the upgrade does not outweigh the detriment. This is why companies like Citrix exist. Virtualization is a good market to be in right now.
