Perhaps, if someone has the right source and the authority to do so. We ran into that with the Millennium bug; quite often, the COBOL program containing the two bytes that needed to become four wasn't available to be updated. The company it came from had long since gone out of business or whatever, meaning that the application had to be redeveloped or replaced. Even for products whose developers are among us, the developers may not be interested in doing so. GPGTools on Apple machines ran across that a couple of years ago. I have apps on my phone that I have had to trade out for others because they suddenly didn't work and weren't being updated on some given OS level.

I would be careful with sweeping generalizations. They usually have obvious and important exceptions.
