Why do we not value QBASIC in billions? Honestly, we value current Van Gogh paintings in billions. The past cost us more, we got here because of that art fought through decades of litigation. Does progress mean we forget all of that and hope on a promise of easy answers?

Scarcity.

Van Goghs have it; QBASIC doesn't. Anyone can download QBASIC for free.
