Computers, even these, are cheaper than development and opportunity costs for a complex system. Especially if that system has been around for 30+ years and lies at the core of a large business.

But development for mainframes seems to be much more costly than development on pc's. If you need this type of machine you need it, but it will probably cost you a lot to work with it over the years.
