IBM's proprietary nightmares have, historically, often been quite cost effective. AS/400 did eventually get too long in the tooth, but it had an amazing run for decades where it was extremely competitive for TCO.

AS/400 is alive and well. It's now called IBMi and runs on POWER hardware.

Yeah, but they aren't so dominant on the TCO side as they once were.
