I've never heard of one doing so. I'd attribute it to a few things: 1) modern tech companies already have a workforce that's familiar with the cloud and modern technologies. They're unlikely to have many employees with Cobol experience (both coding experience and general Cobol interaction) 2) few of these companies want to be beholden to IBM and the like for their mainframes. 3) Many of these tech companies have requirements for near real-time streaming whereas Cobol's wheelhouse is batch processing 4) Reputation that it's difficult AND expensive to keep cobol/mainframe divisions well-staffed as there aren't many new developers coming onboard and many of the existing developers are retiring 5) Relative uncoolness of Cobol

Minor note, CICS (and impls with screen divisions) implement psuedo-stateful interactions similar to http with tempoary storage queues in place of sessions. The 3270 client is textual as opposed to graphical like html of course.
