I would define legacy as when the IT system drives the business.
When working in government it was really obvious when you’d find these systems, as they were usually modeled after a paper process. The organization usually outgrows the process, then they start building shims to adapt.
Newer legacy is harder, as the paper processes were usually better than whatever nonsense was cooked up circa 1997-2007. Paper process people almost always understood the business better than their successors.
