Because you don't even dare breathe on load-bearing legacy systems. You want to change the whole app, you insolent heretic?!

The more important a system is, the more the engineers involved need to be used to changing the system.

Of course, no engineering is really involved in excel-based legacy systems, which is a large part of why they are as dangerous as they are.
