I think I agree with everything you said, but we didn't establish the context before we started this discussion. I was probably assuming a different environment that you were. There is a big difference between a time-nut with more time than money trying to get a few more years out of some well-loved legacy gear and the IT staff for a major bank or stock market. There is probably an intermediate case of places like a telescope. They have smart people and limited funds. Somebody has to decide if they kludge along a bit longer with gear they have or spend the cash to do-it-right. I was impressed with the ingenuity of using the PPS from one box with GPS but wrong date to feed another box with no GPS and the date/time set by hand. -- These are my opinions.
