Bräsigkeit is the word you’re looking for. Being unjustifiably content with whatever you’re having and hostile to every form of change.
Problem is, modern software stacks are extremely fragile. Corporations run on IT, there’s literally nothing happening without a networked device doing something. Changing just a single part of this mess can bring the entire rats nest down. So businesses decide to rather pay for stability.
That’s actually oracle’s business model. It’s not the fastest, user friendliest or cheapest system. But it’s reliable and you can throw money at someone to make it do things. That’s very attractive to businesses. Known expenses are better than unknown risks.
