I think they factor in legacy stuff. There are lots of VB jobs in my area from companies desperate to maintain whatever horrid internal apps they built up 20 years ago.

Along the same lines, IoT depends heavily on C and even stepping out of that, pretty much every piece of silicon requires extensive C code to be written around it.

I still wonder about JS though. Billions of websites with JS and the JS gets rewritten every few years (or less during the framework wars period).
