My thoughts exactly Greg.

Businesses running these systems aren’t going to spend money and resources
to migrate the code to something more modern if there is literally no need
for it.
I understand as a developer my wanting to get shops like these more
current, but I know what the CTO will ask if I ever entertain the
subject.. “why”?

Why is pretty easy for me... if the code is 30 years old, it stands to
reason that those who wrote it are either retired or worse.
Eventually, there will come a time (sooner than you might think) that
almost no one will be able to read or diagnose issues in code written 30
years ago. I used to work in it all the time, now I can barely read it.
The code may not change, but the data and business processes change often.
