Many things, even "popular" things, start out as just one person's opinion. In our case, some of what the author said is exactly why we are still running z/OS with COBOL. The minimal cost to convert and test our z/OS based systems onto an "equivalent" Windows environment cost far too much and entailed too much risk. It literally was "bet your business" for us. And, for once, our "ROI must be realized in a single year" was helpful to the z/OS side.
