>I mean, why bother updating? If it works, it works. What's the new shit gonna do better?
The problem is that around the WinXP time, they started making them network connected (for remote gcode retrieval usually via SMB). So EternalBlue and alike would do _interesting_ things if unleashed on the internal network. And with barely competent IT personnel, you have a recipe for an interesting week.

>Oh, shit, that too. I bet the process for actually getting it approved even after doing the unnecessary work is years long.
Depends on the application. The range is from few months to years. For stuff like airplane control software, the standard was compilers with mathematical proofs they won't do something stupid and C code also mathematically proven to do exactly what it's supposed to do. Of course that industry standard might be gone now; looking at you Boeing.
For a CNC, I don't known how hard/long that process would be.
