in mission critical systems, build from scratches are rarely the case because any hiccups are disastrous.

It's why banks still run on mainframes despite trying (quite desperately) to get away from that.

Building from scratch isn't really building from scratch is my point. You build off of what you have and revisit designs. They aren't reinventing the aircraft.
