I came from an awful IT environment and even my team met your criteria. I think you might be primarily exposed, due to the nature of your work, to the worst of the worst. We had/have a lot of technical debt, but the architectural ones are the hardest to fix (because they cost real capital). You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get sign off on new servers (at some companies). My team nearly made an executive decision to switch to GCP or AWS just to escape our own internal infrastructure group.

Believe me, there are 10.000 million dollar non-software companies that barely use version control, and with extremely awful IT departments. And there are companies making a killing selling software to said companies.
