Changing already working things are slow, expensive and difficult. It's wise to not do that just because of minor improvement. Just replacing old floppies with new ones from time to time could be good enough solution. But it doesn't mean there aren't better storage tech. That's why they are changing it now.
In my world, organizations with funding do not stay with bad options unless the sunk costs are so great ego won't let them back down. Organizations stay with secure, working, reliable options.
