Plus, how long ago did IBM withdraw support for RPG II?! Trust me there are
a) still RPG II programs in use out there, and
b) worse there are still people writing new code in it.

Keep using them if you wish, just IBM will not provide break/fix services any longer.

Plus I’ll bet that handwriting on the wall says IBM i Next won’t include them and potentially won’t run them. (No real information but watching IBM for 40 years. You get to understand the cadence after a bit)
