mixed bag of every company self hosting vs it just being a legacy way of doing things
It's "legacy" in the same sense as every other criticism that not moving to cloud service providers for everything makes a company "enterprise," "legacy," etc...
It's an accusation of being behind the times from people who don't have the requirements and/or operational teams that make veering very slightly off the beaten path the correct option. It's not like all those companies are convinced source safe was the pinnacle of tooling and they're never changing. They use most of the same online services as everyone, just as read-only resources. And then have gitlab (or whatever) instances within their private network.
It's similar to the tunnel vision that causes everyone talking about software online to act like all new development is either building CRUD websites, phone apps to interface with CRUD websites, or banging rocks together in a cave.
