I'm surprised by the operations cost for MF. In my org, we see significantly higher ops cost for MF over x86 simply because MF expertise is harder to find. Local colleges aren't seeing tons of high school students lining up to take MF courses/certs. The MF experts are at retirement age.

That's not what I observed. Maybe admins are more expensive, but I make a lot more as a Python person than I would be able to writing COBOL code.
