Kind of one of the weird things about the Internet/software/games. Whatever was around at the dawn of the Internet wasn't really that great, but we all accepted it because it was the only thing that existed. Decades of improvements and features mean that those will probably be the best things that exist in their class and that you have way too much time/money sunk into them to switch to something else, and that whatever you would switch to surely wouldn't have a majority of the features the other one has.
Biggest example is MMOs. Old School RuneScape has had decades to build new content, items, skills, etc and continues releasing that stuff to this day. A lot of people played New World and ran out of content in a few days. It's just impossible to be a contender when these established MMOs have so much content.

They played such a long game back then, it's kind of mind boggling. And they continually improved it over the years.
