Hello Ron,

An important reason, though, why many mainframe shops upgrade is that the cost of maintenance contracts skyrocket after 4ish years,

Surely, in part at least, that's rocketing price is to coerce the
customer into upgrading to newer hardware.  IOW, the maintenance cost
increase is artificial.

Nowadays, probably. Back in the day (10-15-20 years ago), vendors kept large stocks of old parts, and FEs could actually repair this stuff.
