there’s tremendous value in repairing and upgrading existing things.

Value created doesn't translate to value extracted and VCs and managers and marketers and the general public fork over more money in exchange for new shiny than old, reliable, maintained. There are few exceptions.

True, but I've also worked at many places where they hang on to old software systems for years or even decades (think banking, mainframes). Because they "it works, and if it ain't broke don't fix it".
