Doesn't have anything to do with correctness.

Has everything to do with "we won't challenge the system and propose changing how we actually build software because doing so will lead to us losing the contract, so we'll build upon these antiquated frameworks that will become harder and harder to support and sweep the problem under the rug long enough for me to buy another $EXPENSIVE_THING"
