Odds are great that money is the issue.

Odds are greater that incompetence is the issue.

Never assign to incompetence that you can't also
assign to regulations. I've seen in the past some
really outdated software still hang around because
of governmental regulations requiring the data that
the software provides be accessable for XX number
of years. Of course, the outdated software runs
on outdated hardware, so the outdated hardware
loiters around forever.
