Probably a little bit of both.

Replacing a mainframe with a VM and not losing performance is a huge benefit.

But the software that used to run on that mainframe is now easier to modify, and there's a 10 year backlog of critical bugs that need to be fixed but we were always too scared of breaking something because we couldn't test it - now we have a VM. We can spin up a second one.
