It's fascinating how sometimes the old tech outlasts the new! This reminds me of those vintage cars that just keep running while modern ones need constant updates. Maybe there's something to be said about the simplicity and robustness of older systems. Anyone else have stories where the 'old but gold' tech outperformed the new stuff?

Old tech can certainly be more resilient, but I don't think it can outperform (as in "performance"), unless it's a safety system and it's resilience is it's performance.
