well when you are at professors level, then it is not only about yourself. Especially in physics with you have small teams, some grad students what are under your wing. Their livelihood and career depends on you. And some of them are newlyweds with baby incoming. So then comes human factor.

Though how big institutes work i do not know.

ah - but you speak towards the granting vacuum en absentia of an appropriate appropriation reaction by the institutions and of the government. A proper refactor that provides umbrella funding for a decade long transition would readily facilitate a painless migration, iff current academia cashflows are supplanted by a superior system...but the deus ex is i. finding said superior system.
