Yes and no. The state of the world pre-2000 is very, very different than today. Pre-2000 engines were not built for HTML5/CSS3, they were not built for touch panels, they were not built for quad-core CPUs being standard (hell, dual-core wasn't really even a thing), GPUs were an unexpected surprise, not a cornerstone of the device.

You either refactor until you have nothing left from pre-2000 anyway, or you rewrite from scratch.

No, it isn't, and no, it won't. Having security AND performance at the same time is hard, but Rust very much looks to be a compelling answer to that.
