They do not see themselves as targets. Their systems are likely bespoke, or at the very least obscure. And, more importantly, they have bigger problems to worry about, like operating their businesses.
As it becomes more clear that yes, someone will go to that trouble and it will have catastrophic consequences, you would hope that these things would get better.
More likely, someone will pay a "security consulting" company $100 million to run a Nessus scan and tell them to turn on Automatic Updates on their Windows infrastructure.
